I gather and listen
awake and dreaming
In the dark with
eyes open, screaming
then everything shines
a memory gleaming
between space and time
awake and dreaming

so stay awake, and stay
i try and go, but your game
it waits for me and you, love
so cover up for the rain
you see way too much safety
cause I don't stand a chance
any longer than you do my friend
but you're still keeping me sane
lovely day with Lauren yesterday
it makes me happy that this is the first day of December's picture
and that it is of her

In the quietness of a colorful fall sunrise, the only sounds heard coming from this farm site is the nicker of a lone horse and the quick grind of a car starting and the crunch of tires headed down the gravel lane to town for a day job.
An old barn is now squished between two silos and all three sit in the silence of oblivion, an abrupt change from just a decade or two ago.
My memories of waking up on the farm decades ago varied according to my age. As a tyke, my nights of winter slumber were interrupted by the booming yell of my father as he came to the bottom of the stair steps and with the shout of an arch-angel caused two of my older brothers to bolt out of bed in an effort to avoid him yelling a second time. In a few minutes I would hear our kitchen door shut and then the outside door would slam as my brothers headed out in the dark to milk a few cows and feed the hogs before going to school.
Summer mornings were different as our upstairs windows were open and as my older brothers trudged out to the barn in the early morning light I could hear their murmurs and occasional threats to one another. The sounds of cows eager to get milked and fed cut through the morning air and drifted upwards through the windows of my bedroom.
There was a reassuring routine and quiet morning sounds to our growing up years that I can still recall at a moment's notice over 75 years later. I am more curious now than ever to compare the loudness of my dad's voice in the mornings with the Shout that will take many of us home.

Yesterday I met up with Sofia and her boyfriend Erik. We had all brought some native american styled things with us and the location was just perfect (even though you can't see it in this photo..). My camera didn't really give me the colors I wanted, so I put my sunglasses in front of the lense and woop - nice effect!
I'm such a sucker for backlight....

Arise, awake, O friend of my dream.
Arise, awake, O breath of my life.
Arise, awake, O light of my eyes.
O seer poet in me,
Do manifest yourself in me and through me.
Arise, awake, O vast heart within me.
Arise, awake, O consciousness of mine,
Which is always transcending the universe
And its own life of the Beyond.
Arise, awake, O form of my meditation transcendental.
Arise, awake, O bound divinity in humanity.
Arise, awake, O my heart's Liberator, Shiva,
And free mankind from its ignorance sleep.
-Sri Chinmoy

Arise Awake - on black
Took this on a recent solo road trip up north to the ghost town of Bodie. It was both exhilerating and frightening to take off on the road alone and drive so far from everyone I knew. The idea was to just drive without trying to plan where I would go and what I would do- a real change from how I normally am! The trip took 3 days in total, with lots of motels and quaint little diners on the way. Surprisingly, the ghost town itself was a little anti-climactic as I didn't get many good pictures. It was full of tourists and rangers and was largely boarded off from the public. But I found this place called Fossil Falls as I was driving. I was the only person there, so I got to hike the area alone. This is volcanic rock which gives way to a 40 foot gorge beneath me where a waterfall used to flow. Once inhabited by native americans, it seems to have become something of a forgotten pit stop now that all the water has dried up. Being here as the sun went down was definitely the highlight of my trip. Some moments I have to pinch myself. I feel so lucky to be alive.
