We are back on the ferry and heading home. What a nice trip it was. One of the seagull's was observing us to leave.

Where in this wide world can man find
nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy,
Or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is served with muscle
And strength by gentleness confined
He serves without servility;
he has fought without enmity
. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.
There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.
~Ronald Duncan, "The Horse," 1954
Griffith Park Observatory, Griffith Park, Los Angeles, CA.
03-21-20
Although the Observatory itself is closed, along with everything else in town (and up and down the state of California) the hiking trails are open, and there were dozens of walkers, with and without dogs, hikers, and joggers, all keeping their "social distance" enjoying the absolutely beautiful and clear Spring day this morning.
You could see all the way to Terminal Island and the bridges, and on the other side of Palos Verdes, Catalina Island was clear on the horizon.

Calm seas off Iona on a beautiful day in May. Quite a contrast to the weather today, I’m sure this scene is looking very different with storm Bert coming in.
Smile on Saturday theme: Observe the O
We observed this sunset recently over San Carlos Bay in the State of Sonora, Mexico. San Carlos was our home port for the sailing Vessel, Lai Sien, for some 25 years. Our adventures on the boat are described in my book, Sailing the Sea of Cortez, Voyages of Discovery. The book is published with Apple iBooks and is downloadable from the Apple iBooks store.

To be present invisibly in each of your acts.
Enthusiastically inhabit its crowds.
..of monumental daily revelries ..
..with the anonymous mask of silence.
Exercise the Art of discretion.
..which consists of attending the disguise of appearances ..
... dressing with the skin of the superficial.
To come to an understanding of the world around me ..
of the why of what happened to the landscape of existence.
Burned too often with selfishness.
..with that classic bonfire of poverty of vanities, weak embers
..about which the passing of time ..
... it will drop its inexorable slab of oblivion.
By weight of absolute certainty.
Play sometime, to teach my name to the real thing.
... like a whispered distant music that "baffles" you with harmony ...
..but without getting caught by anyone.
I do not want him to touch me, or to assure that I belong to him.
..not let me guess even from a glance ..
..or that I am hers in decadent possessive.
I love to lose myself in the midst of people, to the smell of human tides ... ... to write about them while the crowd drowns me.
Continue with this homage chronicler walk ..
..the passage of her footprints.
Admire how it is that I do not know so extraordinary.
..that they say is to be normal, conventional ..
.. worrying about the routines of those who have been awarded ..
..with the soul in privilege of having her luminous health ..
..in the form of a sheltered family, a job of the hours ..
..a home of refuge.
Given my special condition of the heart ..
that non-chosen naming of birth ..
... he gave me the testimony of life deed.
From a unique point of view ..
..the one from whom can unlace from his hands ..
..at any moment of freedom.
That she is at the same time hurt and gift for wisdom of pain.
..without any merit of joy
..that knowledge that gives the scarred promise of distance.
I like being with you, without you knowing that I am.
..because I will be forever conjugated ..
..of the Being remaining loved.
