Just thought this woman was cute. She was so serious while working. :)

Day 248: From Inside a Dive Bar
View from inside a dive bar I was at this weekend with family and friends. The fish must be sleeping... :)

Day 244: Bird Bath
My birdbath at home...I finally cleaned it after about 2 years. Lots of things had been stagnating, and it was reflected in the objects around me.
The best way to clean hard water deposits? Soak everything in straight vinegar. Everything will just wipe off after a few hours of soaking. The shells & glass came out looking brand new and shiny. :)

Day 242: Shadows on Truck
It's been a while since I posted, but I loved the shadows so much on the side of this truck, that I had to post it anyway. :)

Day 127: Relaxing
Had an interesting few weeks. Got some news yesterday that disappointed me a bit. Didn't expect it to be that way. Thought it would be ok.
Then I discovered I've got some work to do on myself with how I perceive certain things. I witnessed my blood starting to boiling over something that was probably not intended to be an attack, and yet I became defensive. I have exploring to do.
This taken out on the patio of local restaurant...where I photographed a young girl enjoying the band. It was a nice break from the craziness to be able to sit outside & have a few beers. :)

Day 123: Fly Away
Oh how I sometimes want to just fly away...
Dance in the breeze...
Follow the Sun...
Never look back...
Never look forward...
Just cruise...
Without a care in the world.

Day 122: Swollen
Pic I took today with one of my fav tank tops...tye-dye. :) My boobs are swollen and tender right now. I told a friend I was over 2 wks late on my period. He had a dream prior to my telling him this that I was pregnant. Shit...my life is really full of potential and surprises right now. I'm really thinking about whether I want this or not....

Day 121: Pressed in Red
Images and patterns pressed into the folds of my mind,
Flowing like so much blood through my veins.
Some sharp, some faint....swirling, ebbing, flowing...
Will you never leave me alone?

Day 118: Time of Rest
There is no end to this journey,
But there is a time of rest.
A time to remember....
A time to rejoice.
A time to enjoy comradery,
And visit with friends...
Both old and new.
The Sun will rise,
And we will be Home.

Day 116: In The Breeze
These clouds, like my life before me...
Blow across the sky.
They are part of a system,
And are subject to the cycles of the planet.
Did they ask to be here, now?
Did I ask to be here now? I think I did.
Unlike the clouds, I had a part in it.
How can a integrate the feeling of being blown around,
And the inner knowing that I chose this?
Some part of me knows it's a grand experience,
And it'll be a laugh later...
But right now, it's uncharted territory.
I'll survive, just like all of Creation will.
And one day, we'll all be in the Light,
And we will realize this life is a precious gift.

Day 115: Cosmic Heart
I see a heart in this pic in the clouds...a representation of the cosmic heart that beats with life. :)

Day 114: Silent Watchers
Looking up at the moon between underlit palms, this is what my camera captured. These are quite magnificent date palms in the downtown area. The crown on the large one probably spans a good 25-30ft width. They really are like silient, towering watchers... :)

Day 113: Patio
This was today's view as I emerged onto my friend's patio. I'm staying with her for the time being while my place is being put back together. She has a lovely patio.
I'm proud to say that it wasn't always like this, but it has been since I helped her cultivate a green thumb and hence a love of plants and gardening. It was a barren wasteland when I met her...and had a few weeds and not much else.
It has brought her much joy, and to me also, knowing that I inspired her and gave her the confidence to make it a mini-paradise. :)

Day 112: Stop
Black and blue...that's what I see in some of my pics. Sometimes how I feel about what's happening in my life. There is a stop sign here. Maybe it's time to stop...slow down. Take a look around. Stop rushing so much. Make sure the way is clear...then move forward again. Proceed when the way is safe...dear one.

Day 111: Impression
Even in darkness and storms,
The Sun leaves its mark,
So that you may remember...
That the Light is always here.
And even as alone as you feel,
Naked and cold...
You will whither the storm,
And the New Day will arrive
In a blaze of Glory & Light.

Day 110: Beyond the Black
I turned and saw the darkness approach...
Ominous, foreboding.
It spoke of things to come.
Then I turn in the opposite direction,
And saw the darkness dissolving...
Transformed and brought into the light
By the setting Sun.
It was done as it was written.
An omen written in the sky...
The darkness comes,
But in the future...
It will be overtaken...
By the Light.
Ominous, foreboding.

It will be overtaken...

Day 109: Galloping
Kind of like I feel...I'm moving and keeping a pace, but I still feel somewhat relaxed...
Love, A. :)

Day 106: Into the Light
Wormhole, April 2010
There are too many things just piling up, too many people telling me different things. Too many doubts being planted. I thought I knew something and felt good about my knowing, but then the others tell me different, and I doubt myself. Now I don't know who to believe.
At this point I really want to open my eyes and be thankful that it's all a bad dream, but I know it's not. I know I have to get through this...the way I need to...which may not be easy. I know I'm alone in this...whatever I decide...it will be me who is responsible for the outcome. I just don't know if I'm going to do it right. Make the right choices.
I just have to pray for strength and knowing...to do the right thing, make the right choices. I'm on the edge though...I hope I don't fall off...

Day 105: No Left Turn
Sometimes in life, there's no left turn. You want to turn left, but you just can't.
So maybe you wait until you can, or maybe you find another way to get where you want to go. If you turn right or straight, you may not end up where you thought you would. Perhaps the "no left turn" was for the best.
Or if you decide to wait it out, what is waiting at the end of the road may have changed and is not what you thought it would be. Life is full of choices and surprises. You just have to trust your gut whether to wait it out or find another route when there's "no left turn".
Love, A.

Day 104: Shelter
Little did you know,
That the darkness would also shelter you,
Keeping you hidden until the day...
When the Sun returns,
And takes you back from whence you came...
Where darkness is no more--
A place called Home...

Day 102: Impression
With the light, even in darkness you left your mark, subtle though it was...
And beautiful it was...as it was fleeting, and oh so fragile.
Time would erase your memory from this place,
But it would live on in your being,
Where it would be eternal...
Just as you are...

Day 101: Silly Fish
This was a hungry little fish in the koi pond at the hotel I'm staying at. He is looking for a handout no doubt, not realizing I was only taking his pic & not ready to feed him...lol. Maybe we are like this...like fish in a giant pond...waiting for God to feed us something; swimming about in a human body, in a finite tank...looking for freedom, and a little gratification with something to "eat" (figuratively). Are we really free in this body...in this reality?????

Day 100: Blue Dreams
It matters not if you look into the sky,
Or into absolutely still waters...
The sky is there too...reflected perfectly.
And so you too, are reflected....
By all that is around you.
Change what is inside...friend,
And you change what is outside...
Or into absolutely still waters...
The sky is there too...reflected perfectly.
And so you too, are reflected....
By all that is around you.
Change what is inside...friend,
And you change what is outside...

Day 95: Easter Morning
Strangely it was very cool and breezy this morning looking from my hotel room balcony Easter morning. But it was a nice view nonetheless.
Sunday, April 4, 2010
Day 94: Risen
Symbolic post for Easter...can you see the symbolism? The "cross", and the 3 wires...symbolic of 3 days, 3 crosses, the Holy Trinity... Happy Easter. :)

Day 93: Emergence
Though clouds may be in your midst, know that the Sun shines always, even behind gray skies. In time, the clouds will clear once again. The Sun's warmth and light are never gone...

Day 92: My Room #2
So this is the view looking out from the balcony. I seem to be capturing lots of palm trees in my pics wherever I go. :) I am becoming fond of them actually. The view is not much to speak of, but the hotel is really nice regardless.

Day 91: My Room
This is me relaxing in my hotel room. It's very nice...too bad I'm spending most of my time at my house that is all torn up right now. Still moving stuff out and trying to sort/organize it all to fit into the garage. I have WAY too much crap for one person. Time to really clean house...

Day 90: Gray Days
My days have been gray lately...and here they are reflected in last night's drive home. Also the 3 trees...things seem to come in threes. Three is also symbolic in other ways...good ways. I think that despite everything gone to hell, it has a purpose...and it will get better.

Day 89: View of the Nile
Sitting in the lobby of a hotel...just after a meditation, I shot some pics of an Egyptian mural. I wish I could go back (to Egypt, that is...). I loved it there.

Day 88: Soothing Eucalyptus
This view from a friend's patio yesterday, where I was invited for a BBQ and beers. It was a nice soothing view & sunset after all the craziness that happned in the last week or so. Plus there was an extra bonus after dinner. :)

Day 80: Goodbye B...
This is the last of the sun on my way from the vet. I had to put down my oldest cat, B. And she was a B, but I loved her anyway. She was almost 20, so she kicked around and annoyed me for a long time. I like to think that my ex was there to greet her, and also my other cat who disappeared last year. I hope it's one happy reunion. I can hear my ex thanking me now...lol. :)
