"Been doing some Soul Searching

Pondering some Old hurtin'

Until there's some Truth occurring

Trying to wrap around my mind

Trying to wrap around My Mind... "

I love November. It's dark and brooding. Quiet and somber. A time for reflection, thinking, soul searching. Time for the coyotes howl and the owls hoot to echo and dance as the wind carries their conversations across the universe.

 

A beautiful storm passing over just as the sun was setting behind the pines.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

Where did I go? Hiding from the world. After the massacre at a florida high school, I was heartsick. We all were. So I just got lost in glass, trying not to think much. A mental "running away."

 

WELL. The next school shooting happened not two miles from where I had planned to go that morning. So much for escape.

 

So, after a few kind reminders from flickr buddies and a walk down a glassy beach, I decided I will hide in your world. It is brighter than mine.

Years ago, when Statevillain was earning the name, I used to go west of those 33 foot walls and lean against my car as the Sun set with a large fountain Coke and decompress from the stress and chaos of a traumatic day. Rough days have become a lot easier over time by finding the best therapist in the Heavens.

Across from Nancy and David's!

This is a look back at the junction between Plummer and Pinnacle Peaks taken on a hurried hike Friday morning when I was supposed to be loading the truck to go camping. God paid me back for my greed by leaving the world socked in until well after I was back down. :-) Made for a totally surreal hike and I had the mountain to myself. I think this one best represents how it felt.

  

plenty of blame to spread around, but if we look deep inside our hearts, the answer was always there. we are our own worse enemies...

Witness of another glorious Hawaiian sunset.

beneath a sky stitched with fading light, a lone figure stands at the world’s edge, cradled by silence. between sea and sky, where all journeys end and begin, he carries the quiet weight of becoming.

Yesterday was such a fantastic day, I attended our local arts festival and in the evening went to a reading and book signing by David Sedaris. The day was inspirational and filled with those people who are living their lives committed to pursuing their dreams. In about a month my summer and days of flitting around playing will be ending and I need to find a focus since my girlie will be in school all day. Feeling lost and without direction, and know I need to find a way to feel like I am contributing and making a difference.

"Pick it up, right about now. Inspiration will find you and there's no better feeling than that x".

thank you B, this shot was taken a few hours after i saw your message. :)

 

Last week i met some flickr friends, among them, lan, thank you for sharing all your experiences and thoughts selflessly. Just want you to know that this shot is also some kind of "reproduction" - a re-shoot on the original shot.

 

sorry for the lack of activity lately, hope to be back soon (or maybe not that soon).....

I am not okay

I'm barely getting by

I'm losing track of days

And losing sleep at night

 

I am not okay

I'm hanging on the rails

So if I say I'm fine

Just know I learned to hide it well

 

I know I can't be the only one

Who's holding on for dear life

But God knows, I know

When it's all said and done

I'm not okay

But it's all gonna be alright

It's not okay

But we're all gonna be alright

 

I woke up today

I almost stayed in bed

Had the devil on my back

And voices in my head

Some days, it ain't all bad

Some days, it all gets worse

Some days, I swear I'm better off

Layin' in that dirt

 

I know I can't be the only one

Who's holding on for dear life

But God knows, I know

When it's all said and done

I'm not okay

But it's all gonna be alright

It's not okay

But we're all gonna be alright

Hello Friends!

I want to thank those of you who emailed for your concern and encouragement; I do so appreciate it. It has been a good week and I have had some nice time to just rest and enjoy “being“, which was something I really needed. This year has been a difficult one, with so many changes resulting from my husband’s accident, that I need(ed) to do some searching to find myself and re-align my priorities and just generally live my life to the fullest measure I can.

 

I have decided that I will continue to post and comment on Flickr, as I missed you all terribly , however, I will be doing so on a more limited basis in order to support my decision to spend more time actually learning about my new camera, getting back to my jewelry making and just having time to be more adventurous. I know y’all understand :)

 

See you in your photo streams!

An Hawaiian Sunset, through the looking glass, is still a lovely sight! Long exposure.

Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.

I think I used some AI on this picture too. But I actually don't remember what I did in post. That's rare, usually I remember my editing steps very well. No idea with this one.

Sometimes barriers in life are those that we put in front of us. Maybe we need to take that 1st step and cross that threshold whether it’s a mental barrier or a simple puddle of water and take that journey beyond the horizon in front of us. Who knows what we could discover?

 

Taken along a very rural road in the middle of frankly nowhere. There was this narrow grove of trees that stretched out to the horizon surrounded by naked fields on all sides.
