I just spent a few days on the ocean in coastal Georgia.
There's a place there on the Atlantic south of Savannah they call the Golden Isles.
It's kind of a way out place.
Salt marshes and shrimp boats... sandy beaches and Blackbeard's Island.
There's a lotta history there.
And some buried treasure I gotta find.
Some pretty big fish with some pretty big teeth swim around in those waters...
and we spent a few nights watchin' the shark fishermen throw out big hooks with big baits drink beers while they waited for that explosive pull on the rod that says that they're tied on to a shark.
The Blacktips were out.
Someone caught a seven foot long Tiger Shark.
Just a baby really.
Everyone throws them back.
It's cool to see what comes outta the water.
I dig the ocean.
I love to be close to it...
to be on it...
to feel it.
It fascinates me.
Every day, twice a day a tide of about eight feet rises and falls...
it floods the salt marsh and then goes out.
You can see the stingrays come in like clockwork when it comes up.
The sharks start biting when the high tide goes slack at night.
If you see the Dolphins then you know that the bait fish are around.
And the sharks will be there.
They've seen quite a few Great Whites this year.
I love the way that the ocean is a living breathing thing and it dances it's dance of life right there in front of you.
It's so fascinating to me.
It's always hard when I head back home and I feel like the ocean's so far away.
It calls to me still in soft muted whispers.
It's right there waiting for me.
My soul's been nourished in a way that only the endless waters and the shushing waves can sustain it.
I've been fed by the ocean well.
And the ocean more than any place will always be home to me.
I miss it so much already.

I bought some Mary Engelbritsen (sp?) wrapping paper and decided to make cookies from her design! The only main design change I made was going with a chocolate brown background instead of a black one. And the border is dots instead of a checkerboard. Not super happy with how they came out, as I was having trouble with my eyes staying focused while I did the outlining.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

a small bird, a sweet anam cara, has arrived from across oceans, bringing a song of clarity... words of light... and a warm embrace from my dear friend, the alchemist mel-pin...
each day since the arrival of this soul bird, i climb the stairs to the third floor sanctuary in my home... to ask the secret questions,* to listen for the one precious word that i have forgotten*...
slowly, my heart begins to resonate with this sweet bearer of clarity...
may all travelers find joy!!
love and best wishes,
jeanne
*the soul bird brings these words from melina, words that rest in my heart...

I don't get much sun where I live due to the direction my porch is facing and the fact that I'm surrounded by oak trees. It's nice in the evening when the sun is going down. I don't get much time to enjoy it but when I do, it's lovely. The cats love it out there too so sometimes I'll sit out there and take pictures of them, taking advantage of the natural light. Flowers compliments of my mom.
Home
The time came
To return
To visit old places
To listen to the sea
To smell the salt air again
And feel the memory
Of the love in his voice
"Here little girl I've already
Baited your hook"

.....my heart shaped pizzas, that is! What can I say, I was inspired. I have loved that Valentine's Day landed on a Monday this year....that only meant that the entire weekend would be spent celebrating...right up to Monday. These delicious delights were dinner last night...organic ingredients, homemade sauce, and pure happiness in my kitchen watching my little pizzas come out of the oven. When we all went to bed, the aroma of freshly baked dough still floated in the upstairs bedrooms....so lovely.
I hope your Valentine's Day was full of love and very special too.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
—Matthew 6:33
“No need for fear
Or deep despair
Seekers of God
Receive his care.
No need for fear
Or deep despair
We are at home
and God is there.”
--St. Theresa of Avila
“When a sculptor looks at a piece of wood or stone, he sees only the image that can be carved or sculpted; others see only rock or wood. Similarly, a seeker should discriminate between what is eternal and what is ephemeral and live with vigilant attention. He must hold on to the eternal alone. The eternal is God; worldly matters are transitory.”
—Amma, For My Children, p107
“Teach us to seek you, and when I seek you show yourself to me, for I cannot seek you unless you teach me, nor can I find you unless you show yourself to me. Let me seek you in desiring you and desire you in seeking you, find you in loving you and love you in finding you.”
– St. Anselm of Catebury
