Childhood, adulthood, and the architecture of the brain

I always thought of the end of high school as marking the end of childhood. Society tells us we’re an adult when we turn 18, and I believed it. In retrospect, that seems so naive.

Finally, I feel like I can celebrate spring. The fires are still not contained but under better control than they were even a week ago. The skies are clear again in Santa Fe, and I haven’t been waking up to the scent of smoke wafting through open windows. I got rollerskates*. I went camping. I went exploring and wildcrafting (gently; still so very little rain). Tomorrow I’m going SWIMMING (sometimes this happens in the desert). The national forests are closed here, which makes me simultaneously sad and grateful. Land needs to heal.
