Go outside & play. (read all 11 entries…)
LOL 2 days ago

I´ve had this goal for SO long…

and through no very organized or focused or purposeful effort on my part it´s been one of only two that pop up in my email inbox every SINGLE day…

and I thought, ´Well why not…´ so I never changed that

and today was the first time I realized

the goal is about PLAYING

not going outside

it´s about going outside to play

not because I should

or I have to because I have an obligation to myself and my loved ones and my potential future kid should I ever have one to be healthy and sane

no

this goal is about going outside

TO PLAY

hahaha

banzai



Find Spirituality in Nature (read all 99 entries…)
I went looking for a sand dollar today 2 days ago

and found nine.

As a kid I´d have concluded this meant the Ocean was welcoming me. : ) Now of course I try to work out whether it´s the season and the relatively small number of seagulls, the extremely low tide leaving all sorts of smaller shells and flotsam higher up the beach and the sand dollars out of the way on the long smooth shoulder lower down below the humped strands of kelp where the gulls seemed to prefer to pick. The dense humidity and the early twilight created the kind of autumn hush that also reminds me of being a kid and racing my bike through a suburban dusk where everyone else seemed to be sequestered inside some box glowing with yellow light. This kind of soft air and expectant quiet only exists in regions where there is enough humidity to trap cacophany in the air and disperse it like steam. Even the ocean seemed calmer although there were still a handful of surfers bobbing around. The sky was muted as well, so hazy that only a long feathery lip of cloud cordoning off the horizon hinted at its hoarded pink glow.

Then I saw the most mournful bulldog ever and had the best cappucino in a long time brewed up by a Bretagnan with the most perfectly stereotypical French accent I think I almost grew a beret listening to him.

Gosh I like San Diego.

:D
