honestly:
i don’t know if i’m waking
or dreaming
eyes wide closed opened tightly
i cross the rocks
leading with my arms
tripping all over my heart
i hold up the coral
i watch a gleeful swarm of whales
o f f shore; so sensitive to the currents
in the water
in my veins
i have a covey of new thoughts
bursting from the edges
of my mind:
fast winged and thrumming
i don’t know if i can record it all
in film
in my mind
on paper
in silver
but i’m going to try.
whales!
hope you are having/had a loverly time!
I'd love to flip through your sketchbook
or journal from this trip
and see
how it all tied together
was rendered
was internalized.
so i could go there,
too.
safe travels homeward, plume,
on the wings of angels
and dreams.
xoxo.
Are you home honeymooner?
The shot of the whales brought tears to my eyes. How I ache to be close to my cetacean brothers…
Hope you're feeling better and had a Merry Christmas!
Oh and also loving the velvet horsey schnozzle.
how lovely!! I am so jealous!
have you been to paradise? Methinks these are photographs of heaven. L.x
Swoon worthy snapshots. I can almost feel the tropical breeze and taste the salt water on my lips. Save travels.
beautifully seen, and beautifully written. love the whales. some of my favourite memories are of whale watching…off the coasts of several places…Hawaii, Alaska, B.C., Mass…
you write beautifully…fluidly…
thank you for taking the time…to share your experiences, your thoughts, your heart.

Relish the journey of that trying, as will we. Wondrous photos!!! I love especially the sun bursting (with RW (?) looking as far away) and the whales cavorting. Safe home…or are you back already?
Re whales: gyre and gimble were the words I was groping for!

And we are wearing more layers as well as it is chchchchchchilly. Your tranquility in conveyed beautifully through that film, I love everything about it!
