city tree

The tree outside my window

Oh its always a battle isn't it, city or country. Any one who travels like I do knows this inner battle that rears its head at the most unexpected times. I am so near the sea, yet I don't feel its call. It seems grey green and emotionally distant. I was inspired today to get off my self pity and find my own place at the shore. Once again repair my underwater video camera and make a bond with the sea here. Now who would have guessed that I would have found the most beautiful colors in six inches of water in the violent sea around Newfoundland. So who knows what I will discover here? In order to find it you need to look...and in order to look you need to make an effort.

I wake and fall asleep to this fluffy tree. Birds sing there and it makes me feel as if I am living in a tree house. It has wonderful coverage right now. It is my daily nature reminder that I cannot possibly escape. It is a time of change for us all. Maybe we should look to the seasons and adapt, prepare and even celebrate with these changes around us. I mean I am facing the same sea as I was in Newfoundland...it just a little warmer and a little further south. I love the sea in part for being a border less place...maybe I need to remove a few of my own borders too.
