Daydream believers

Colorado Balloon Classic - Day 2, originally uploaded by iceman9294.

“Some people do not have to search, for they find their niche early in life and rest there seemingly contented and resigned. At times, I envy them but usually I do not understand them… And seldom do they understand me. I am one of those searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we completely content. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach; we are drawn to the ocean, taken by its power and unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests, mountains, deserts, hidden rivers, and lovely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as our laughter. We are ambitious only for life itself and for anything beautiful it can provide. Most of all, we want to love and be loved, to live in a relationship that will not impede our wanderings and prevent our search. We do not want to prove ourselves to others or compete for love. This passage is for wanderers, dreamers, and lovers who dare to ask of life everything which is good and beautiful.”

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind...

The Solitary Sea

The Solitary Sea, originally uploaded by lejson.

The Solitary Sea
Quiet, near the sea
But miles away from the crowd
Stands the solitary figure
Whose gaze pierces the depth
The dark sea and the dark night
Appears mysterious and too frightening
But she stands unbaffled and remote

The dark sea echoes within her
Remote and alluring…
Both are calm
But with a tumult inside
She is now closer to the sea
Herself the solitary figure
To be one with the sea
To share the isolation
And the alluring mystery

Milestones make life feel so real, surreal at times! It's the eve of my 25th, and after an thrilling weekend of tromping this stunning city to visit favourite places, new faces, and 5 special stateside embraces, I'm completely awe-inspired. More to come, just need a little time to soak in the million little miracles of this past year. A thousand thanks to open-soul friends near and far, past, present, future. There's no hobby I cherish more than watching lives blooming before our eyes! Hope you have a fabulously fascinating week. xx
