  •     The rain was falling so gently in drifts across the sky the other day that it looked like snow.   A blast of winter is coming through tonight, and tomorrow, but will be gone by Thursday.   In all of the places I have lived there's snow now.   Here in St. Augustine,…

  •   (After a few choice expletives aimed at that  "something" that keeps pulling me into a hole.)       I want to go to the root of my happiness & hang on to it –     Really I won't need to cling to it, will I?     Non attatchment – non judgement -      What…

  •       December 7 2001 Am      Shack Last Day A mouse goes to sleep in the morning, would you say good night (sleep tight) or g'day!?   The demons came, softly quietly as though they were so comfy & friendly with me and I had a sit down talk with myself like a…

  •   December 3, 2001 C-Scape Dune Shack, evening.   Walking back toward the shack today after hiking & scketching & napping – I was planning on some lunch – However there was a group of clouds over the shack in an otherwise cloudless sky.

  •     These two pelicans, flying and diving together in the shallow waters of Tampa Bay,  in time to their own music,     reminded me of the two humpback whales dining together off Cape Cod, and the pilot whales, dancing in perfect harmony.     Occasionally humans can, without a word, step together harmoniously…

  •     It still snows up north, even though it is 75 degrees here in St. Augustine. It's less real than a dream, and impossible to conjure up the actuality of snow!   In this photo it's snowing one of those magical snowfalls, where the flakes quietly stick to the branches, transforming the forest.  …

  •     When the fish are running in seaside towns, the word spreads quickly.   Some years ago, a close encounter with Hurricane Floyd, stirred up the surf and the fish and our restless spirits on Cape Cod.   Here's hoping that all of our friends in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, are safe and…
