This is a photo of one of my beloved places: the land near the cabin my great grandfather built in upstate New York.  This week, many of us are gathering in another favorite place: Rites of Spring!  As we open the gates, dance the maypole, and weave the web, we’ll be creating connections wide enough to hold all of you who aren’t with us on the mountain this year.

Meanwhile, I invite you to weave your own connections here: tell a story about one of your favorite places.
