My 24 hours in this complete and cozy Topanga cabin away from Hollywood and the busy-ness of my family life was a perfect respite. I felt the closeness of community around me and yet I experienced total privacy as I needed some solo time to dig further into writing. When I emerged from the cabin the following day to leave, a 'neighbor' shared that my tire looked flat. David and Ace, another Tribal Oasis resident, fixed me up with air, told me where to get my tire fixed and sent me on my way with much more efficiency and goodwill than AAA who I called but did not end up needing. Good vibes, good people, good intentions, good times. Next time I hope to explore the powerful grounds further, as hikes and trails abound.
