Morning Has Mended
Very intense storm last night - 50 knot gales coming from all directions, lightening, thunder, heavy intermittent rain, from out of nowhere, well somewhere, but not any where anyone saw coming. Woke me out of bed at 4:30 A.M.. . As dawn broke the weather calmed. With lightening still flashing over the east bay I practiced tai chi up on the roof deck, Pierre sensibly staying inside at the top of the stairs, cloud hands floating ~

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.

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
