the things we takeaway


last night, at the end of all words, under the emma tree.

earlier in the day,
i'd noticed these boots still wore some sand from the beach.


i'd stood too close to the edge.


but how could i not?

  9. what ARE boots without sand on them?

  11. Debi, You have a picture of what my daughter named "The Stopping Place," where the powers that be told the waters, "You can go no further." When I go to Florida or Galveston I often spend time meditating at The Stopping Place...it is very spiritual for me. The picture you took is perfect! Blessings,

  12. Walking the edge is a good thing..it's where all the creative people live.

  13. There is something beautiful, mysterious & powerful in the marriage of those two aspects: relaxing/reflecting at home, & standing on the edge, that moves me greatly. Thank you.
    And, yes, you are a goddess.

  17. Standing at the edge can
    be very scary....in an
    exciting sort of way, doncha'
    think?

    But, I also think it's nice
    to have someone to hold
    your hand to keep you steady
    as you go...

    Thanks for sharing...
