a wish ...

it's not possible



to soak in



enough of this earthen season,



this ambered season,



this season of chroma and soil



this piercing time of shift and evolve.



i want to roll around in the radiant. the earth. the gold. the rust. the grainy aroma of.



to soak it in more



to soak IN every last bit of it's wild essence



and get it all meshed in with my soul. this season soul and my soul. one.



to know it longer



to savor it every day in life



because it feels that rooted



and that intricate




and that enlightening.



this is where and when



the earth life feels most passionate. most undeniably phenomenal.


and about 100 more pix here:


hope everyone is gettin' all crazy within it -- out in it ;-)

whatever it takes

if it takes riding to the top of this same mountain every single day

to find the right re-set...



then that is what i'm going to do.



happy-er-ness up there. getting there. being there. and flying back.

makes me all dancy and manic.

resonance

too low to find my way
too high to wonder why


i've touched this place before
somewhere in another time


now i can hear the sun
the clouds drifting through the blinds
a half a million thoughts
are flowing through my mind


a satellite recalled your voice
sent me round the world again
all the night you dreamt away
sent me round my heart again


one touch upon my lips
and all my thoughts are clear
i feel your smoky mist
up to the stratosphere


too low to find my way
too high to wonder why
i've touched this place before
somewhere in another time

OUT

a lot of the the time, my biggest challenge is simply crossing the threshold of the sahara desert
that is my front door.



any time i can make that happen, it's a huge success. i need to remember this.

thank the universe for sunsets that entice me out and keep me entangled in singletrack well into the magical hours.
