Off to Whidbey

Well, I’m in the airport, getting ready to head to Whidbey Island in the San Juan Islands (Washington) for an “Engineering, Social Justice, and Peace” conference.  The word “conference” should be loosely interpreted.  I think there won’t be too many of us, and that there will be walks in the woods, journaling, bonfire talks, and maybe even the making of art.  We’ve been invited to read Parker Palmer’s The Courage to Teach in preparation (I’ll be reading it here in a few minutes and on the plane).  The subject of the conference?  “Bringing Our Whole Selves Into our Work.”

How I’m going to make it for four days without my trusty Janome, I do not know.

Not sure what to expect, but I’ll let you know more when I get back.  See you Monday!
