Oasis

Totally beautiful morning here too! Clearest blue skies… I'm out back drilling holes into my little blocks of wood for new mini artworks….smell of burnt sawdust…goggles and dustmask….birdsong.:) When my hand started to hurt I took a break with my coffee and just sat on the deck looking up at the trees….so lovely. Finally cracked open my book ‘Suburban Safari’ in Celebration/reminder of this and all the details around me…read a bit…looked around a bit….staring contest with an orange and white cat….Bunnito the Bunny darting across the yard. Being out on the deck looking out at the backyard I think that this COULD be home…. The yard is just right, my favorite part of being here….tranquil…a little oasis….private surrounded by trees…little barnshed….quiet...a place I can return to peace easily. Just wish there was a safe way to walk to my magicbay and I wasn't on the other side of that darned highway.

When I was a kid I used to find myself gazing out of the window and looking at the trees, spacing out to how the branches and leaves moved in the wind. It was very calming. But I tried to discipline myself against that, because the teacher would criticize kids if she caught them doing that.

I found it interesting that people called that "day-dreaming." I wasn't having any fantasies at all. I was just sorta staring and blanking out, letting a feeling wash over me.

When I do that now, thoughts and worries intrude in. I think kids are naturally zen-like.

I dreamed of you last night, in a crazy real world changed into a kind of Second Life, with lots of possibilities.

I knew I had made a special dream, and it's only when by chance I saw on a big ad something about a "Pier60" that I remembered you were in my dream. If only I could remember what it was... Buildings, of course, and rooms, spaces, streets. I will try harder. I remember your long hair, maybe flying.

I must say that where I live since late February is a First Life as much addictive and resourceful/projectful as SL. :-) I'd like to have the chance to tell you more.

I hope you are still on the path to realizing your visions.

this spring has been a rediscovery of nature's soothing power.
if my computer had to render even just those tree branches, i'm sure it would crash.
