tantalizingly close to the sea





glorious days
sunshine all over
in the wind salty spray
but the sea ain't the sea
and big drops falling
from the one cloud in the sky
they somehow don't touch me
i live fully
see bears in the forest
sea lions slip in the water
for breakfast we catch
two dungeoness crabs
even the rocks tell me stories of glory
yet it's more like a dream
not being able to live this most beautiful way

reflection


a reflection of emotions
so clear
i gasp
and cannot see
my love for you
i find it hard to breath

All back to normal


summery hot purple
winter in the background
both close to my heart
always

i am trying


to figure something out :)
The thing is i lost my zoombrowser photoshop and now i have 'photo! editor' (not as good in my opinion. Anyway it's what i got right now. Sometimes my photos would appear laying on their side. Okay when i turn them in the photoshop they are turned!, even when the still show sideways.
I'll never know if computers will ever make sense to me.

i went birding

i fell through the ice



fear always intrigues me. I have fears alright, but the wrong kind :) a fear i am working on lately, is that i actually fear to stand on my own two feet.... to truly be independent.
Today:
Interestingly i have no fear of going places that can't support me.
I see my little lake, it's a lovely sunny day, warm. The ice is rotten, i sink in two inches in slush, but the ice hard under feet and still reaches the shoreline.
I step on, it hold me easily, why not go on? I walk so happily when suddenly!
You know it did not feel cold or scary. I just stood there thigh deep (luckily the lake is very shallow) i look around and realize if while trying to climb onto the ice it would break in front of me, it is a very long way to the shore! ahhh i crawl out quite effortlessly. Still.. seeing i am not far from the opposite shore, i think of continuing... It's not fear that has me turn back the way i came from, it's common sense.....

you think i can learn from this in life?

And what is the lesson for today?
