You've Got Mail
Our neighbor Susan Neri has been turning mailboxes into works of art. Here’s the mailbox for our houseboat, The Dandelion, where wishes do really come true.
Heaven's Gate
The Vallejo
Self Portrait, Inadvertent
Bending over to photograph a face in the planks, an affliction, while walking my bike down the dock, horrifically chagrined by a face that appeared on my screen.
the Light is everything
Still what I want in my life
is to be willing
to be dazzled—
to cast aside the weight of facts
and maybe even
to float a little
above the difficult world.
I want to believe I am looking
into the white fire of a great mystery.
I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing—
that the light is everything—that it is more than the sum
of each flawed blossom rising and fading. And I do.
Mary Oliver, The Ponds … from House Of Light
Fathomable
The secret to kayaking I discovered is to fall in early, get wet, get it out of the way. You can't get more wet after that, or dry your sunglasses. But sunglasses are apparently overrated. Not so family. Not so friends. (backyard photo by neighbor Dennis Bayer)
