For Cee’s Flower of the Day.
The hills don’t look that colossal, do they? But this is taken zoomed in from the Olympic Peninsula and the hills are on Vancouver Island. Here is one not zoomed:
It was a colossally low tide and we were hunting fossils. Fossil clams, fossil snails and stories of fossil dinosaur bones.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: colossal.
I took this two days ago on an early beach walk starting at North Beach. The sky was amazing and beautiful. We had intermittent sun through the clouds and very little rain on that walk. It’s easier to see the clear agates when the sun lights them up.
I did not find any clear agates. B found one that met his criteria. There were many other beautiful rocks. This one was way too big to bring home. The rock itself is almost a rainbow.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: rainbow.
peace me, loves
peace me, strangers
peace me, Beloved
free us from dangers
peace as a river
peace as a wave
peace as a verb
peace saves
peace my heart
peace all of ours
peace all the friends
peace the wars
peace a gift
peace a joy
peace fearless always
no war toys
peace apparent
peace dove
peace triumphant
peace love
peace me, loves
peace me, strangers
peace me, Beloved
free us from danger
I kept the paper cup in the picture, because the cup is animals and plants, but the cup also is a pair of lungs. Breathe peace. And breathe for all the people recovering from covid-19, short haul and long haul. And breathe love and shelter and support to all those grieving for our dead and let us grieve too.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: apparent. And for peace.
We hiked out Dungeness Spit today. Not all the way, but about half way. It is gorgeous even though the sun stayed hidden.
This rock was bigger than my boot. Lots and lots of beautiful rocks!
Hiking Dungeness Spit—A sandy stretch that keeps on growing
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: lilac.
In a recession we learn how to do without.
We tighten our belts. We drive less.
I am glad that I’ve paid for the CSA for the season
Vegetables until late September. The money is gone.
I like the computer. I could do without.
I have songs and instruments and many books.
I wish my children lived closer. On the other hand
maybe they have a better chance of survival scattered
around these United States when it comes to war.
The war has already started. The war has been beating women down
for centuries. I am tired of it. Women are tough. I am tough.
I know how to do without. Right now I am glad each time
I turn the tap and there is clean water. There are many many people
without clean water. I have filter systems. They won’t last forever.
I am loved by my children and friends. I can do without.
I am sad but I can do without. I am preparing to do without
you.
your heart is an agate
clear stone
you have won
sort of
you think
but I am water
I am waves
I will smash you against the other rocks
and wear you down
I am water
I carve you like a laser
you wear my name
carved in your stone shaped heart
it is already written there
on your stone shaped heart
faint, because water wears slowly
water wearing stone
over time

you are angry you say
I don’t think those are the right words, I say
not angry? you say
bored, I say
BORED you say
Yeah, I say
Well, you say you don’t love me
You say you won’t change
You say you changed once, in the past
You say you won’t go in a church
You say you did that
You say you won’t go in a casino
You did that
I’m BORED
My first thought about the church
My first thought about the casino
Is that is clearly where I can go
If I want to avoid you
My second thought about the church
My second thought about the casino
is ICK. Why am I hanging around
someone who doesn’t love me
someone who doesn’t plan to change?
My sister and I talk
about the people who don’t change
about the people who remain the same
about the stubborn who bury their heads
We notice them shrinking
as the world changes around them
the things they are willing to do
the people they are willing to talk to
the places they are willing to go
get smaller and smaller and smaller
You dream of a small cabin in the wilderness
your brother shows up and an attacking bear
in another dream I am well and busy and happy
May all your dreams come true
my love
if you really want them to
I am well and busy and happy
are you?
