it’s just me
time slows
beats a different drum
birds chatter
giddy with life
oblivious to trouble
fickle wind
plays hike and seek
through the pines
shy and hesitant
then bold and deliberate
subtle, ethereal windchimes…
deck chairs bathed in moonlight
stars punctuate barren branches
smoke spirals
melding with bracing breezes
wafting outward
becoming one with the atmosphere
i immerse myself in the moment
the perfect excuse to do nothing
but soak up
all the goodness
of now
( more about my little trip and more pics here)
i can feel the air. surrounded and embraced. what could be better for the mind, soul, body.

ReplyDeleteYou guys are so sweet!! I think you get it. When I started doing this, a few years back, I never told anyone because I thought they would think i was weird. Or I made an excuse, "it's just a photo-shoot". I'm getting a little braver!!

Oh this looks so lovely!
ReplyDeleteHow delicious! I've been wanting to go on a (truly) solo retreat - because in some sense, it's not truly solo with the pup - to this place on the Oregon coast where each room is named after an author and it's a family style dinner. It's on my list. So yes, I totally get it. :)
