Day 42 - Utah - Wabi Sabi (at the Youth Garden Project)

(We didn't take a picture because Kirsten was driving an that would have required her to shift with alacrity while a trucker was riding her tail on a semi deserted road)

Drove into Moab in the coal black night and woke up to a view that paralyzed us in the window. Found the Youth Garden Project, the area housing the kitchen WabiSabi uses to cook their weekly community brunch (The Hand's Up Program), which runs during the leanest six weeks of the winter. Cooked eggs, biscuits and pork sausage gravy, banana pancakes, and turkey sausage with three other volunteers under the loft stairs. Took orders, dished food, and watched as the spectrum of community members drove, biked, and walked into the garden, some toting kids, others toting pets, but most sitting outside for some time during the meal, enjoying the sunshine. Driving away, felt so small next to the vastness of the landscape.
