Day 118
16th February 2011
Arrived in the UK last night to rain, not surprising for February really but quite disappointing after a few days of crisp but dry days in France! Stayed over at Mum and Dad's last night to save us driving back to the West that evening and managed to fit in a wonder round Dad's garden checking for signs of spring before we headed back home.
Dad always has these carpets of snowdrops under the Magnolia in his garden, so pretty and uplifting when they arrive! Makes you feel so happy!
Then I remember that the arrival of Spring means that we're now in the season that baby number 2 is going to arrive in, which quite frankly freaks me out. LOL
This time the body flushes to lucent,
And testing; tries the mirror.
Sight shaking uprooted veining;
in the skin vase gloomy.
Loving it as is done.
Thought of breathing all erratic;
dangerous interest at it’s difference
Count by cloud at sunrise.
Blue, orange and white stop-animation;
felt through fluid-filled ear
Now in that mirror; feeling frightened
to sum it up; scribbled and scrunched in the pocket.
Won’t wave goodbye or
wail of mistake, to mask my waning pride.
No not lying here; while laying here…
an accidental plateau reached; and sleep’s not necessary now.
In candor; undoubtedly rash;
sense seizure is seldom slept through.
Walk around, ease into and through.
Indulge in dying; in dissociation.
Feel through blue trait of heart,
and work towards extremity.
Near mind in frames.
Come down to cells at a phase and
recognize calculating chemicals, elementally circling and binding; again moving.
Somewhere in Something…still Living?
Scraps for scavengers or
worm to bird…soon Flying?
Again I’d dream I return to the oceans,
I don’t recall the first times
Yet;
I comprise them as they composed me.

Glass half FULL!!
i am not always an optimist in the moment, but i usually find the good in the end, and champion it fiercely.
My personal belief is that good begets good, and that bad begets bad. If you walk into a shoe store sure that they don't have your size, you will probably leave empty handed. If you believe there is a positive, a sliver lining, a way of looking at challenges as opportunities, you will probably attract more opportunities, more great people, and more silver linings to you.
This amused me how the wheelbarrow seems to be dreaming of being a beautiful yacht. Pixar would make a great short animation out of that thought.
