2.19.15 So I've been visiting museums, and flying quietly over Wales and Iceland...



Well, in the 'getting over getting over the flu’ category, besides being so lucky that I don't feel pressured to get better to work..( I wish) ..I did discover two nice things.

 1. Youtube videos, sound turned off, of all kinds of places in the world shot from above. 

2. K showed me that google earth will walk you through the Uffizi Gallery, in Italy. 

He's been there and been there,

 so we sat and looked and I made lots of noise ( right? How HUGE the Botticelli's are) 

and he'd say things like 'Oh, wait til you see what's around this corner !' 

So I've been visiting museums 

and flying quietly over Wales and Iceland 

and just imaging being everywhere at home .

2.19.15 And Yet, If You Look Carefully, Past One More WIntry Day



Another beautiful winter's day, doing exactly what February does best.

 Gentle snow darkening the skies out our windows, as we wake. 

And yet, we are crawling slowly toward March, and if you look carefully past what seems like one more wintry day? 

Why, the buds on the Aspen and the Maple and others are emerging a bit more each day, seeking the coming Spring light;

 all the trees slowly awakening.

2.17.15 So strange how hard it is for people to get how they harm themselves by being a person who would harm others.

2.14.15 "Wistful and Grateful at the Same Time"



I love this. From a conversation this morning: 

"The dreamy quality of our age ,where we are 

wistful and grateful at the same time."
