At The Table In My Sunroom: Something Else

Something Else

I am supposed to be doing something else right now. Late morning of the Friday before a long weekend. Gray overcast, rain coming, but gorgeous sunny weather expected for my next three days off. Orange, yellow and crimson hues are popping in the scenery, which just makes that sky look more blue (except today).

The only way I earn money is if I work. If I sit and tell my thoughts here, I am not earning. That's what I am supposed to be doing. But I just want to sit and have a cup of coffee and chat with you all. I want to read your words, write back, talk things out. I feel so full of unfinished thoughts of life, pursuit of happiness, meaning, beauty. Things too big to capture in my small mind. Talking helps sort it out. Or not talking, and looking out the window at the colors.

What a charming visit we had; your coffee was good and strong, the muffins were fresh and fragrant. I asked you about your work, you said you'd rather save that for another day. Me, I'm getting ready to take a long walk on the beach. Have a great day.

Hi Jennifer

Your work may be more productive if you allow yourself these little breaks in between to unwind and chat...

Happy days

Thanks for visiting. I love having you at my table with me.

A time has come in my life to reach into another place, to reach into a cobwebbed and stiff part of my brain - the creative part. And then, maybe to take what I find to hold it out to share. You see, I have never been creative (and am still not, you might say); I have experienced the world analytically. I now see there is so much more to the world than that.

This started with an idea to write a photo-journal to myself. In that journal, I would write and take photos of details to CONTEMPLATE the numerous sparkles of life I have around me, and CAPTURE them to last. So here I am, come join me....

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
