Chasing The Blue Beyond

Wish Fulfillment · The Law of Attraction The Elixir Four Years of Magical Thinking Imagination was the preview. Travel became the proof. Photography gave the fleeting moment a form that could return. Hawaii World Tours World Cruise Photography Magical Thinking Ordinary World The Call Answer the Call Foreign Land Trials The Elixir Everyone has a photographic memory, but not everyone has film. Thanks to digital—and my trusted camera—who cares? Just point and shoot, and you capture snapshots of moments. I am an extremely talkative person. Yet I like taking pictures because they speak for themselves. Field Note Imagination Is the Preview The photograph is evidence that what once existed only in the mind eventually entered the frame. 01 Ordinary World · The Call The Mind Leaves First Before movement comes the ability to see beyond the room you are standing in.

A Man's Home Is His Wife's Castle There will always be an England, even if it is in Hollywood.  In fact, it makes me think of  Monarchs,  all the  knights in shining armor movies and Brothers Grimm tales of  Rapunzel,  princesses, and royalty. English castles  are such a common sight in the UK. I wonder what the upkeep on this brick and mortar version is.  If I had that kind of money I wouldn't come to England, I'd send for it.

Walking On Water No Pool. No Problem. I have the sea and beach. Its voice speaks to my  soul. Why do "I love water" so much?   It not only permits  my  mind to be empty and clear, but enforces it because  time doesn't move hour to hour but wave to wave. If Hollywood is loneliness by the swimming pool, then solitude is a walk on the beach.

Living on a ship  might be summed up as monotony tinged with hysteria.  The Patron Saint of  Optimism-Another dopeless hope fiend! Geography is the topography of ignorance, a finite disappointment not only  when the map becomes the territory, but when you actually visit these hole in the wall places. In most cases, it's a lot better to transcend reality with imagination, re-framing the conversation. "Melbourne was awesome", "Ghana? Amazing!" India? a magical delight".   Nevertheless,  there is not one ship that doesn't sail to a port where life is not uncomfortable. The future just isn't what it used to be.  Yet, you don't quit countries, you quit people, and I have to say the best ships are friendships, and I have met some amazing people while sailing around the world. Impossible Is Nothing Going out to sea is  the infinity of hope, the preview of life's coming attractions where you have final cut in your own movie. ...

Land Lubber or Lover? Finally, I am not on the sea, but  here  on dry land at Worthing Beach, with the English Channel in background.Shipwrecked on time, stranded on the present, it's a. gift of 86,400 seconds today. I used one to say "thank you". I am starting to realize, If I had my life to live over again, I wouldn't have time.Point A to Point B has become a lifestyle.

Out To Lunch I 'm gonna rent my house in the shade of the freeway. I'm gonna pack my lunch in the morning and go to work each day. This is no Frank Sinatra New York, New York, , no Jay-Z Empire State of Mind; more like Jackson Browne's, The Pretender. today, while I meet up  with The Office crowds. I am in transit on my way to England. London's calling. On The E Train From JFK Airport in Queens, NY

It's good to be back on dry land. Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.9  Reminds me of last season at The Ed:
