oh it's a nice day

not too hot and not too cool

i'd say it's just right

. . . [7/16/23]

. . .

it's grey and lovely

and it's pretty calm out there

lovely day to beach

. . . [7/16/23]

. . .

it comes up higher

higher than i though it would

and there are dolphins

. . . [7/16/23]

. . .

couldn't be better

this air, this view, this sitting

this is what i want

. . . [7/16/23]

. . .

i want it but don't

i try hard but then i stop

i just want to be

. . . [7/16/23]

. . .

all trying is stress

even when we enjoy it

how to know what's real

. . . [7/16/23]

. . .

go the way you want

even if just a little

still be on the right path

. . . [7/16/23]

. . .

i feel pretty good

but i still don't want to go

got to fix that part

. . . [7/17/23]

. . .

the air feels good - hot

it's a lot hotter for some

i guess i'll take this

. . . [7/17/23]

. . .

why do i do it

pick at myself like i do

where does it come from

. . . [7/17/23]

. . .

bad leadership shows

it is felt no matter what

it's in everything

. . . [7/18/23]

. . .

the air hot and thick

it will be hotter today

good luck to us all

. . . [7/18/23]

. . .

always my belly

every morning a little

no it isn't that

. . . [7/18/23]

. . .

we'll do another

most will do another day

but some, they will not

. . . [7/18/23]

. . .

and i have covid

and it was a total shock

thought it was ennui

. . . [7/19/23]

. . .

now there are bees here

they are probably wasps though

living in house too

. . . [7/20/23]

. . .

bees and birds and ants

classics of our life stories

the gang is all here

. . . [7/20/23]

. . .

we sit at the sea

one of our fav'rit places

lovely thursday morn'

. . . [7/20/23]

. . .

i have a sickness

sublte as it is, it is

it will be gone soon

. . . [7/20/23]

. . .

so i take a rest

i relax at home and sea

i will rest now

. . . [7/20/23]

. . .

and what of after

what will i do differently

each phase a checkpoint

. . . [7/20/23]

. . .

a fight to just be

a fight you say, but why fight

how 'bout just be now

. . . [7/20/23]

. . .

now a bit of fog

the breeze is cooler now too

to go in or no

. . . [7/2023]

. . .

and now, it is hot

still cloudly but the sun's here

just a bit of breeze

. . . [7/20/23]

. . .

oh! that sand is hot

you can build up resistance

but oh! that is hot

. . . [7/20/23]

. . .

i am so tired

do, tired, do, tired, do

so now i'll just sit

. . . [7/21/23]

. . .

i've just had covid

2nd time and not as bad

close to done, tired

. . . [7/21/23]

. . .

i sit here better

i feel like there's no sick left

and so, back to it

. . . [7/22/23]

. . .

i write about this

and i write about that too

seeing patterns here

. . . [7/22/23]

. . .

are my dots just that

there to help me recognize

the patterns within

. . . [7/22/23]

. . .

why are you yelling

sometimes talking so loudly

i am so precious

. . . [7/22/23]

. . .

i sit in this place

my space, my hole & corner

so good to have this

. . . [7/22/23]

. . .

you've got to hold on

loosely, no matter what's it

even with a saw

. . . [7/22/23]

. . .

. . .

i'm in a season of slow or something - which feels funny to say bc i don't really have any "fast" seasons. but i'm feeling something. a shift? a differnet sort of wonder? or was it just bc covid was in there and that changes some time and space sometimes? i don't know. i had 5 days off in a row - sometimes that's enough -- probably that's always enough! to make things feel a bit strange. i've loved it. we'll see though, as time keeps ticking on. we keep moving. going. doing or not doing, there is movemnt.
