Urban Living in Montana and Sea of Change



I’ve been silent lately because much has happened. I’ve gone from remote living with the elk, to buying a condo in Montana. Yes, who would have thought that a condo could be desirable in the state of Big Sky. Fortunately, we have amazing views from the roof.

My purchase wasn’t planned. But thanks to the vision of a great man who remodeled the building from something practical, to something spectacular, it became the home of some and the envy of many. I had been following the project for three years, the developer - my friend, the great man, the visionary, helped me land a unit after they were all sold out.

I was running a fast pace keeping up with the excitement of change. I closed in May, and moved quickly just after they turned the water to the building on. I remember my friend asking me when I would move in – when I told him I was ready, he said he was too.

Unfortunately, he died only a week after I moved in. Life slowed down after that.

Some nights I walk through the building and it feels like I’m the only one here.

Ironic that I moved here to be part of a community. I know the purpose will unveil itself in due time.
