Moving On

My friend Shannon who has been a big help in the edible forest and Dragonfly Park is moving to Seattle for a PhD program. As Shannon figures out what to do with the relationship that she is leaving behind for school the best advice I can offer is to put no restrictions on this relatively new romance. No decisions to stay together or break up at this point. Let it evolve in it's own time and way perhaps have an agreement to remain friends, to keep in touch and to discuss this after first term is over. Yet how hard it is to say good-bye even when many new hellos await.
