Everyone sat in a circle around a fire surrounded by trees, and we went around the circle telling stories of our friend. She was like a warm blanket on a cold night, and was very well loved. It seems like many in my world are changing their ways. A couple people mentioned that they're clean and sober now, the usually abundant herb at these events was barely evident at all (and that's not a reflection of supply, it flows like water around here), and I saw one person offering up a beer that no one took him up on. Very different than what I'm used to. Positive change seems to be in the air around here.
