In 24 hours

oil change
ultrasound
then 6000 feet above sea level
walking on the wettest spot on earth

later
we sleep
seaside
at the house of the dead
wake to find
sunrise chips
watch whale’s
tails
slap
as we move
in slow motion
sifting through sea salt mist
and sand

simply sit

we’ll sample coffee
at the roadside tourist trap
but realize
we just can’t go to Costco
along our way
back home

Do the Magic

As the Bohemian guides Jeb through a series of morning stretches I’m here uploading a collage of images from the past few days.

Here on the island, the albatrosses are nesting and they soar over the lucky ones that spend time seaside along their flight path. It’s not easy to capture them as they glide through the small frame of the camera. It’s a point and shoot I’m using with the zoom on maximum. This is the best shot I got.

I’m thinking that all of the images in this post are like this. An attempt to capture a fleeting moment as it drifts through.

And here’s a snapshot now, right as I type:  In the corner of the room a man tells a child, as they circle their arms in the air, “You know Bruce Lee. He mastered his energy. And when you master the energy, you can do the magic.”

These are the moments sifting through.  The Archives are my way of practicing mastery. Trying to stay present enough to notice. Share what I experience.

Reminding myself (and maybe you) that we can do the magic.
