It is nice to dream of traveling the world
In search breathtaking sites
Yet most of us, it is just a dream
So to wander local
To see the beauty close to home
It is what most of us can do
Sometimes just minutes away
For there is always something new and beautiful to see
For me a visit to the river and one of my favorite native trees
The black gum tree – Nyssa sylvatica
Tiny water droplets suspended in the clouds
As they move on the currents of air
Until the burden of its’ weight
Releases and water drops fall to the earth
To be absorbed
To flow and make it way to the sea
To move on the current of oceans
To evaporate back to the clouds
Continuing cycles
With the ebb and flow of life

Playing out in the streets
Games of a bygone era
Kick the can
A “Spaldeen”
High bounce ball
Endless games to play
Stick ball
Where manhole covers are bases
Large circles chalked on the payment
For I Declare War On
Sidewalk handball
Hand ball on brick walls
Stoop ball on my uncle’s front steps
Memories half buried
Like marbles in the dirt
15 Numbers puzzle
This WPC is personal to me and have I’ve given much thought to it. Yet may be off the mark for the challenge.
If you ever played this puzzle, you know you have to move numbered tiles around to get them in order.
In order to move one tile into place, a bunch of other tiles have to be moved
I think of this puzzle as part of my own life, for over the years you collect things and when others leave they leave a lot of their stuff behind
Sooner or later, you need to do something with all this stuff, move it, box it, if you just want to clean your home.
Do you sell it? Does it have any value? Do you donate it? Who wants it?
So how does this fit the category of “Quest”?
My quest going forward is to become a digital collector, take pictures of things I have and then get rid of them.
If I think I want something take a picture of it, I might view it more than if I owned it , taking up space on a shelve, in a draw, boxed away with the thought that someday you’ll have a place for it
Yard sale it, donate it and things that might have value “Craigslist” it.
Reduce, recycle, reconsider what it is that I really need or want.
A quest that one day when I leave
Most of my stuff will be on a card
Two lines converse to a point
Grounded and wet stoned
For a finely honed edge
To glide across the surface plane
To remove a paper thin layer
A tool’s edge of craft and creatively
Sometimes we trick ourselves
With the illusion of depth
When the reality is
It’s just the reflection in a mirror
The world stands outside
Separated
By the walls we create
Inside we get glimpses of it
Framed through the openings
That we provide
Hot summer days
The joys of the young
To build sand forts
That stand up
Against the waves
All part of summer fun
Those of you who know me thru this blog, know I’m usually looking for details in all sorts of things
