It was cold when we rose, a bit under 40F, and there was frost on nearly every open patch of field or lawn. We met Kate, a plucky, British member of the dawn community, who gave me a hug and told me a cheery story about a neighbor with cancer who was twice told he had months to live, and is now 7 years past that prognosis. I like stories like that…
