A strange walk about...

Simba

I have just returned from a week long trip to South Florida with my brother Day.  It was there amongst the Flordian energy that my father explained in so many words that he thought I was a lion who knew his pride.  This was a rare moment in my Human life, as my father so [...]

Life after the rain...

It hasn’t rained for 24 hours straight! the puddles in the back yard terrace actually dried out and the sun came out to warm and cheer us.

Sangjun came by with Josh and they took the bikes with the trailer, not before taking Merav for a ride on the Ducati!!! “It was FUN though a bit [...]

After the Storm

Today was beautiful and sunny here in Montara.  It has been raining all week and the storm is finally over.  The house, like the land, is going through a cleanse.  We are rearranging, reorganizing, and taking out the old to make way for new energy and inspiration.

Today I cleaned the living spaces and cleansed the [...]

Poem #8

Sparkling waves are filling my eyes

and inducing memories of my youth

of family vacations to the South.

Florida, North Carolina, Lake Erie

and more.  Places I’ve been and will

never forget.  Thank you Dad and thank

to life and all that encourages Harmony.

Looking out over the horizon [...]

Dog walk, plantings, and more!

Welcome to the ARC!

There is nothing more special

than a meal from the garden

with friends by the fire.

Without any worries I carry

onward like the waves on the

beach I can see from

the yard.

Hawks turning overhead.

Cherry Sunbeam reaching from horizons bosum.

Steam swirling from my teacup

in the sea of emotions

its easy to get carried away…

I remember to use my [...]

Grafting and such!

Today we went all the way to Berkley to the Rare Fruit Growers meeting.  We got all kinds of seeds and some grafted fruit trees that are all local.
