Be careful what you ask for She said.
I asked anyway.
Fortresses collapsed.
Worlds imploded and peeled away.
Long moons of hell, scarring, and healing.
Was it worth it? Hmm… Yes.
It’s not for everyone.
Like natural birth, it’s messy and painful.
Yet something new emerges with wisdom of old soul.
Do you know if you still your thoughts and open your heart in the forest, you’ll hear the trees sing inside you?
I hear their whispers in response –
Me: It feels so good and overwhelming like I’ll lose myself.
Trees: That’s the point. To lose yourself in us
Foggy sunset on the beach near Ventura, California. Made for a magical evening…
Saw Nomadland last night. I’ve often struggled to explain what nomad life is like in the States — this movie nails it. Watch if you want the real nitty gritty. Almost the entire movie other than the star uses real people living real lives.
Long story short, I’m still in a holding pattern. First it was due to business issues, then it became chronic health issues, and now it’s a mixture of recovering from chronic health issues and staying clear of the COVID madness that prevails across our world.
It’s hard to sit still for so long, so I try my best with daily forays into nature and exercises to restore my health.
So I wait to wander freely once again. It won’t be much longer, I hope.
I’ve been watching a new show on Amazon called Seatbelt Psychic. It’s pretty good and the psychic seems quite talented…
However, my main takeaway from watching a few episodes is so many folks from all walks of life carry some kind of pain deep inside and you wouldn’t know it.
It was revealing and humane to watch the internal vaults of tough guys, priests, young and elder folks, etc. crack open and tell stories of their own traumas and/or the passage of their loved ones.
The show gives fresh meaning to a popular quote:
Be kind; everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
For some reason this country road felt like a walk down memory lane this evening (Alachua, Florida).
