Fitting Together the Pieces of Our Lives
As we observe (and occasionally help with!) the patchwork of our backyard patio project (as inside projects also continue!), we’ve noticed how life can sometimes feel like a puzzle, or a quilt in progress, and it can be a “struggle to juggle” all the different aspects of our lives and fit them into one cohesive, beautiful work of art. Give us your tips and tricks on reducing the accompanying stress and help us vision the future Paths of Heart potlucks and house concerts after the transformation! Woo hoo! This Sunday, The Home Fires (Vicky Emerson and Sarah Morris) are here from Minneapolis to share their music with us. We hope you can join us for their house concert this very Saturday night, too (details below)!
Quotes to ponder
“Let certain things be uncertain. Appreciate the puzzle that life is, insofar as I know, after a scheme of steps, all Crosswords have a solution,and every Sudoku makes a lot of sense.” ~ Jasleen Kaur Gumber
“If the reality of our life has become an unsettling arabesque puzzle and we still want to add more filigree embroidery to it, we might, some day, expect to stray from the point of recognition, lose the final thread, be expelled to the edge of delusion and forced to dance on the brim of chaos…” ~ Erik Pevernagie
“Isn’t life a collection of weird quizzes with no answers to half the questions?”
~ Pawan Mishra
Looking Ahead/Notes of Interest
Saturday, October 5th, 7 pm ~ “Paths of Heart Presents…” House Concert with The Home Fires, an Americana duo based in Minneapolis comprised of critically acclaimed singer/songwriters, Sarah Morris and Vicky Emerson.
Sarah and Vicky are established touring artists and after developing a close friendship and playing live shows together, they unearthed a gorgeous new sound featuring Sarah’s clear, melodic voice and Vicky’s warm, weathered harmony. In 2018, they were nominated for Americana Artist of the Year by the Midwest Country Music Association and opened for Emmylou Harris. Sarah and Vicky continue to write songs in the car on their Midwest tours with the intention of recording a new album.
This is The Home Fire’s second appearance at our house concert series, and they’ll also be with us Sunday morning at our Paths of Heart Gathering! Learn more about them and their music at https://thehomefires.bandzoogle.com. We’ll have a potluck finger food and beverage intermission. Suggested donation $20 at the door (ultimately up to you!).Hope you can join us!

Car-eography
You
may park in the driveway, as well as diagonally along the north side of
our property. Should those areas become full, please park out on Hwy
1, which has plenty of space and a nice wide shoulder. Do watch for
passing cars as you are exiting and entering your vehicle, though! The
carport area is reserved for folks with special parking needs. Out of
respect for our neighbors, we ask that you kindly refrain from parking
on Evans Drive beyond our property line. Car pooling is encouraged. We
also have a bike rack for cyclists!
