So tonight I AM the ocean. On my way to a costume party.

The past and the present as one
Sitting in my grandfather’s chair in the middle of the night 2000 miles away from where I call home.
Remembering
Times up at City Hall
Today I found out where Marty and Professor Doc Brown hid the time machine.
Either that or city hall is trying to alter the space-time-continuum.

Art
I like it when a piece of art is seen through the eyes, lands in the heart and then challenges the mind. – Anne Carlson
I am the Hunter
To the to the rolypoly and the other little bugs I dug up to feed my spider. I became the hunter as far as those little beings are concerned. I snatched them from their home, and will be responsible for their death by worst nightmare.
This is no different than if I was out hunting, or slaughtering a cow. A creature dies at my hands. Today I was providing for my spider buddy.
We comfort ourselves when someone dies that they have gone to a better place.
Thinking today about bug heaven. – Anne Carlson
I Touched the World Today
I had my hands in the soil today.
Touching the earth is touching the world. – Anne Carlson
Questions in the Trenches
Thoughts come in the trenches of the dark nights, as I fight to live with cancer.
My crystal ball is not always on line. I seem to be able to hear the still small voice saying when to do laundry, but what about the big things? Maybe I’m too scared to hear, maybe I am getting the message and my other thoughts are too loud, maybe I don’t like the answer I’m hearing. Maybe I just don’t know.
But I am a selfish person. When I breath in, I want as much air as my lungs can hold. I want that 2nd piece of cheesecake to linger in the flavors of my mouth, to catch the joke so I can laugh heartily with the crowd. I want to be part of the beautiful world, and I can’t do that when I am sulking, when I am angry and miserable.
So let us corral all the information we can and make the best decisions we can. When the regrets come, to shrug and say, I did the best that I could and move on. – Anne Carlson
