“Where have you been?,” asked Will.

I have been playing host. I have been relishing in families new & families that feel so old. I have been in Buenos Aires with Mother Mary and Sister-friend Lauren. We celebrated Lauren’s birthday there with champagne, brownies and a really spectacular tango espectaculo (I loved her—the one with the black bun, slick back with a red rose). We made fresh orange juice each morning. Mary and I meditated on the hardwood floor. Lauren comforted me when the buzzer made me afraid. We decided that I should host a trunk show with Uruguayan artisans’ goods. We also decided I need to clarify my goals. What is my end goal? How to make it sustainable? Their departure has left me walking around Montevideo aimless yet assured, sad yet determined. I am catching my breath, encouraged by the reminder of my roots. My homebase. My please’s, my thank you’s.
