"umikumawalu"

To quote the poet Neruda, in "It Is Born"

"Here I came to the very edge
where nothing at all needs saying,
everything is absorbed through weather and the sea,
and the moon swam back,
it's rays all silvered,
and time and again darkness would be broken
by the crash of a wave,
and every day on the balcony of the sea,
wings open, fire is born,
and everything is blue like morning."

Two years have passed since I wrote my last entry. Two years full of challenges.
A serious boat accident in which I was injured,... my precious daughter flew out of the nest (to California!), ...the passing of my beautiful mama ...and finding a new job.

Breathe.

Today I am thankful.
For the laughter of friends ,..beloved family, ...good health and having a job I enjoy, ....being blessed with the ability to paint,... joy in a Tango turn, and sunshine on another luscious wave.

C'est la vie.
