And a perfect day.

Maybe if I climbed

on top of a hill

on a Greek island

you would follow.

 

Maybe if I traveled across the sea

looked at

the White Cliffs of Dover

you’d walk along side.

 

Maybe if I sailed all the way South

where sea turtles

 begin their journeys

we’d find forever together.

 

I met Thane for lunch and hung out for a while.  I actually spent some time focused in the morning.  I'm trying to feel anchored.  Yesterday's retreat really helped.   I want to edit a couple of pieces tonight to read on Sunday at open mic.   

The truth is my home is my anchor and at the moment everything is so vulnerable that it doesn't feel tethered. 

 This swan was not hospitable to the cormorant. He swam out to tell him to go away.  Cormorant was not easitly pushed around.  

I went to the canal and spotted a heron across on the other side.  She must have been out fishing and would bring something home to her nest.  Usually we don't see the herons in the canal until after fledgling time.  But there she was.

And it is clear that the purples are out.

My bird list was very big today, I did not write it down though.  I want a monocular.  Is there such a thing?
