sunday trip

I’ve just returned from time away, a respite on Plum Island, MA to be exact that I’d been planning for several months. I wake up at 2:31AM, and for a hazy moment, am not sure where I am, my body and spirit thinking I’m in the soft bed @blueinnonthebeach, my mind wanting to believe though it knew differently. I lie still hearing the faux sound of the ocean in the passing cars outside my window missing the authentic sound of ocean waves and silently repeat to myself, click your Vans darlin’ and you can go back....

Eventually, I go back to sleep waking late at 8:00 to begin my meditation by reflecting on my time in New England, wondering what I gained from this journey.  I think about the many characters the ocean displayed not just from day to day, but from hour to hour, moment to moment. From the safety of the deck, I had watched the wild fury of storm waves towering far over my head the day I arrived, stepped out onto the sand the next as the waves softly turned in a roll from right to left across the cloudy horizon; two hours later, the whipping of surf way out in the ocean sprayed waters up towards the heavens under a blinding sunshine, the next morning, tiny ripples licked the shore leaving small foam bubbles behind. Never the same in sound, size, color and form, the power of the ocean never failed to gift me with wondrous awe sometimes for hours. Remembering my watch of the water that spread out before me everyday while away, I heard my spirit voice speaking these words… 

as I look out at infinity, I am reminded that no matter the weather, the possibilities are endless…no matter how agitated and loud the rising waves are today, with every tomorrow, they will look, sound and feel totally different.

A life metaphor to contemplate, so…

sunday messages

While running an errand, I came across what I believe was a pop-up installation on a DC street that made me pause; though there was no information or explanation, it spoke volumes…

While out on a walk, I almost missed a small decal that, once I pointed my camera to click, spoke even louder when I noticed a flag waving in the background…

I was about to write about my interpretation of the doors and what I want to convey with my capture of a decal against the backdrop of the American flag when I remembered -- it's up to the viewer to determine the message of what they behold -- so I’ll leave it to you as I invite you to…

sunday love

Each time I open the binder to begin a new journal, I write a letter to myself.  A few days ago, I composed one that was much longer than in previous journals; out of the 519 words, six jumped out at me…patience is your virtue in progress.

Every so often I have to remind myself to set the intention, plant some seeds, or stoke the embers then let time and other powers take the lead as I focus on other matters. 

Wonderful things, the right opportunities and resources, perfect partners be they business or personal are presented at the moment when we least expect them, so give the optimist in you a little love and…
