deep hibernations
fallen asleep at the helm, i lapsed at my entries
just as the waves lapped at my brow.
similar to the fog occupying time between lucidity and sleep,
where one squints to discern the appendages of a dream
from the resonant hues of dry land.
i was asleep at the helm, as i observed from the crow's nest,
the ship that i am headed north, into the winter.
breaking ice now with my brow.
the hull taught and enduring,
balanced equally between tempered strength and breach.
I sleep softly on deck, calmed by the frictions of motion
as the fragments of the earth travel around me.
soft shapes emerge from the fog and warm my sleeping ears.
the shapes are comforting, and intriguing.
they move about me as amoebic organisms would,
gentle but persisting, until I am no longer asleep.
listening now, the fog has thinned.
the resonance is clear, as i realize what i hear.
I am asleep, I am vessel, I am observing from above.

coloured orbs in the dusk
it takes time for your eyes to adjust to darkness. while your pupils dilate, use a combination of meandering dream shapes and vivid imagination to re-orient yourself within the parameters of your newly unknown surroundings.
newly unknown though they may be, truly unknown they are not. your surroundings are composed of the individual components which make up all experience... you have been here before, but it was not you, and they were not here.
being surrounded by an unfamiliar configuration can feel disorienting. it is common to experience the urge to discern, or grasp at things before they have re-atomized.
do not grasp. just be present. clear. sentient. interactive.
wherever it is, that you are.

low tides
Today we spent a few hours in the ocean,
and on the sand, and in the mud, drenched in sun
wading in the surf, stepping on clams and chirping
whenever small flathead fish darted into our feet.
we oogled dogs of all sizes, and fish and birds and crabs.
the salty ocean air smelled fresh and sweet
as it passed us over on it's westerly breeze.
we observed life, in it's active energies and in it's absence
we observed death, drenched in sunlight.
