Now You're in Bellingham...

The ship has landed.

I have a place to live. I have an address!

So far I've gotten to do some cool things.

I bought a bike:



On Sunday, I went to church in Blaine.



Then I partied with my cousins and new friends:









On Monday, I explored the neighborhood...



Got to meet some of the neighbors...



Freaked out when I discovered that the OCEAN is visible from my street:



I got a bit settled in...



Took care of a little business...(still so much more to do)...



Hung out with my awesome roommate, Holli, who gave me a Tour de Bellingham:



Which included the beauty of Larabee State Park,







Recharging the batteries of my soul.




"In me the world is present, and you are present.
I am a link in the chain of light and of presence.
You have made me a kind of center, but a center that is nowhere.
And yet also I am "here."
To be here with the silence of Sonship in my heart
is to be a center in which all things converge upon you.

Surely that is enough for the time being."
-Thomas Merton, A Book of Hours
