"A collection of my thoughts, feelings, and reactions, to the world around me"
There is nothing like keeping a deja vu in your back pocket. Easily triggered by the stimulus that surrounds you. Today, a walk to the edge of the harbour and my whole life flashed back. All it took was the smell of saltwater, the touch of a rains mist, and wonderful memories came flooding back as strong as the approaching tide. A picture is wharf a thousand words. – Ash
Sometimes we have to change our perspective to get the light back into our lives. It is OK to sit in the clouds, but never stop chasing the sun. – Ash
I remember how long summer days were as a kid. It seemed as if there was time even between the seconds. – Ash
A compliment can really turn someone’s day around. By the way, I love the way you read things. – Ash
Remember, no ocean can be as big if it were not for the rivers, streams, and brooks leading to it. – Ash
Writing gives my soul a stage to perform. – Ash
Having a good day starts with wanting to in the first place. So, when the focus is happiness, just try your best to finish what you’ve started. – Ash
Boats sway nestled to port
quietly breaking the ocean toward the shore
its laps catch my ear
then, I see
I watch as the moorings drip
counting seconds for no reason
high over in the charcoaling sky
chimney smoke rises, strangling the hills
there…
blips of buoy lights reach north and south
tomorrow to be a beautiful day
this, a story, a grandfather tale
to comfort me
as I am ushered home by the dear harbour
before it can sleep it sings
lending me its sounds for sweet dreams to come
allows me the harmony of its salty crests
until I turn my door in goodnight
I listen for the songs of the harbour
There are moments like this where it’s a shame I need to blink. – Ash
Although I am in the middle of nowhere, it’s everywhere I need to be. – Ash
