Lake summer surrender… Floating on my back I know that letting go is not pulling away or giving up but releasing into weightlessness and dappled light.

I am only Light borrowing this flesh for one brief moment, one brief life…

Tonight the galaxies and rounding moon are having a romance.

Pine and blackberry and drying grass – the sweet nighttime smells of summer.

My garden of basil, squash & beans has transformed itself into mugwort for dreaming, fried egg poppies for pain, & arugula bolting in the heat…

A last hurrah at the Mermaid Ball and then goodbye to camp.

Some comments made by little girls today upon learning humpback males sing to attract a mate. “Only the boys sing?” “That’s because they want to attract the bestest girl.” “No, the boys want to be with all the girls!” “The boys just want to mate….”

दलाई लामा के जन्मदिन मुबारक
Happy 75th Birthday Dalai Lama!

A rescued sheep and a torn rhomboid muscle (think pain – a great deal of it) a houseful of faeries and 3 baby birds without a mother…

Some might be inclined to light some fireworks but I’ve just lit a fire – in the wood stove – on this chilly Canada Day eve.
