is a lovely thing! i sat down in the one sunny warm spot in point reyes station and found myself exhaling finally… relaxing against the creamy white tongue and groove building wall… i looked up to see these glorious blossoms wishing me a happy morning!

my relationship with me
my relationship with him
his relationship with himself.
his relationship with himself—
this interests me.
i saw this piece today under the canopy of madrone and oaks still thriving on the south-facing slopes. ?he showed me this piece—that part of him that is dormant—?i hope
dormant—there is possibility—a thaw could happen, some energy could move again—this is possible. ?but he seems dormant. i feel it and i am frozen for a moment in reality as i decide to know this piece in this man.
he might press me back into my bones
he might lie on top of me and press my body gently back into the earth again
as shooting stars connect all the cosmos… we sparkle in acceptance and yet know
the truth is overbearing and not enough. ?not enough to see ?not enough to know. he isn’t, i’m not—-but really i am and so is he—-but not in this time or place—-maybe somewhere else ?on a mountain ?at the top
maybe.

if you find yourself wandering a down slope of madrone and oaks on a hot summer day— you might get to witness the spontaneous combustion-like moment of the madrones “peeling”! it is amazing!!!
i heard it— then saw it! i witnessed…

my current bedroom/studio in west marin with my photos adorning the walls… for this photo shoot i was playing with groups of photos…i love them in groups. and they change groups. these two photos were taken on a beach on the big island of hawaii, barely a crescent moon of sand— surrounded, nearly enveloped by these wild elongated trees and huge branches. (big island spirits: left photo: beach hwy pole 69.1, right photo: beach hwy. pole 69.2)(the hawaiian tree spirits are very present in both of these photographs and you can actually see them on the large prints!

hoo koo e koo is my favorite trail. she winds around the middle of mount tamalpais and you will know when you have arrived. the trees— buckeye, bay, oak, redwoods, down slope or up slope they hold it all together for us i swear. they are having a hard time these days…i think it is their nervous systems—like ours— are challenged at this time. they could use some connection, some real lovin. so say hi next time. you will notice they notice, you. feel the love.
