take this road with me
take this road with me
my god, take this road with me
roll along with me
roll around with me
in soft sand
in search of
soft places
on each others bodies
on this hard and scratchy earth
pine with me
long with me
for more time
more earth
more journies
more lost hours in lost places in wide open spaces
sing with me
on a secret sandstone stage
sail with me
on a secret sandstone ship
make love
not to me
but with me
not out of thin air
but into thick boulders and bushes and grasses and dust
make this place exist with me
where before it never existed
not to us
ache with me
in the abundance of beauty
it's too much
it's too much
cry with me
it's too much
tremble
sigh
moan
reach
fall
writhe
scream
laugh
spin
spin
spin
joy
free
with me

A percentage of this post's rewards goes back to support the community. The rest goes to me and Pilot so we can go on more adventures and still afford to feed Biggie.
All the stuff (pictures, words, etc.) I put in this post and any of my other posts is mine (unless otherwise stated) and can't be used by anyone else unless I say it's ok.
(obligatory crow photo- Biggie)
Dats moody and oppressive stuff. In a good photo way. Of course Biggie rounds it all of splendidly :O)
Thanks! Biggie says thanks, too.
Thanks @brumest and @qurator team!
Beautiful, love the stream of images your words conjured along with your photos. Hahaha, I was waiting for the crow picture and you didn't disappoint me, not one bit. Beautiful Biggie!
Last night, I was able to get a few recordings of a cardinal singing, two different vocalizations, but no video and still no pics. I'm trying though. 😂
One might say that these birds are of cardinal importance to you. I look forward to seeing what you see!
And: Thanks! Biggie never disappoints. Not even at dawn. Not even when he yells at me.
😂 Sweet punnyness! Don't hold your breathe, I don't have your skill with winged things, but I won't give up.
You get yelled at by Biggie? He most certainly does not disappoint.
I do! In the morning when I am still asleep and my aim sucks he yells at me for wasting kibble and throwing like a human.
😂 This is why you need to sprout feathers. Waste not that precious kibbley yummyness. It amazes me how you can get so close, feeding by hand. I need your secret methods.
Eternal patience and the ability to hold space is all you need! And good food.
I think I need to add one more thing to that....a lot more green space than where I am, lol. The others I can do.
And to think you passed up an opportunity to live in the Pacific Northwest! 😝
Well, that's a long story and to shorten it, I'll say that I've been four times, four different parts, three times planned moving, but it fell through three times, last time being in 2020, which brought it all full circle and completed that dream, that it wasn't meant to be.
You will find your green...
Thank you for that, really not keen on staying in the city, not for 12 years now, lol, but the universe had other plans and now it's a patience thing, LOL!
Does it help that I'm growing green leafy things on my balcony?
Yes. 200% increase in likelihood of future greenery.
Hahaha! The blackbirds are singing up a storm in the trees right beside it. Thinking of heading out to a new spot to shoot some photos if it doesn't rain on me today.
Did you go off camping?
Three replies to one comment, that's gotta be a record for me, lol. I just had to, had to, had to tell you that I accomplished the impossible today without getting rained on. A surprise is in the works ;)
😂 Lucky you I saw them all and didn't just think you were editing the same comment over and over.
Yay blackbirds!
Yay surprise that isn't much of a surprise anymore!
Yay I went for an overnight campout for a friend's birthday.
LOL, I just didn't give a crap about editing, screw that.
😂Very noisy and competitive, but the cardinals sing out louder above them.
I couldn't keep it to myself. I KNOW you get it, LOL! It hit me later that a message was sent that way, so have figured out what that is and well, it was good to get the heads up on something I was waiting for. A little confirmation by phone today, so at least am aware.
That's absolutely wonderful decadence, at least in my mind. Always a special thing to be out in nature and to share a celebration, even better.
BY PHONE??!!
Short story of getting an intuitive prod into my thoughts several times, then hours after taking photos and looking at them, it hit me that those two things matched up around same thing, so made a call today that pretty much confirmed it. You know those calls where it's a situation where the organization can't release information, but what they can't say pretty much confirms what you suspect, so that, by phone.
You've lost me. I thought you got a call from mixed tape! I was like, why the fuck would you give him your number??!!
LOL! No to the mixed tape and extra no to giving my number out. It's about my mother.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Did you talk to her?
No I didn't. I did all that I could with the situation and I made my last call to her at end of January. A friend kindly reminded me how those who are dying will keep hanging on as long as loved ones hold them here. I didn't want to do that, so I said good-bye without telling her that directly in the last call. She had degraded to the point where it was close to impossible to even talk. I remember this from my father going through this same thing a few years back. This week, thoughts of her kept popping into my mind, which hasn't happened for a few months. Then the meeting in the cemetery and late that night, it came into my thoughts very clearly that a message was being delivered. Today, I called the hospital and they have no record of her there. From that, I gather she is dead now. When exactly I don't know and I can't find confirmation in obituaries, which is the only way I'm going to find out, unless there's a repeat of this, which I am hoping to avoid, in the event of, I won't be answering the door at all this time. I also won't be caught off guard this time either. Not meaning to be a downer, it's just the way it is.
Ohhhhh this is entirely different from what I though you were referring to.
I'm so sorry! But also it sounds like you were better able to prepare and let go. Not everyone gets this opportunity. A different process of grieving, I imagine. Still just as painful.
Hopefully also this ultimately severs any connections you have to your brother.
Thanks, it's okay. I learned in my early 20's (the hard way) to make sure I live in such a way that I don't have regrets where people are concerned, should something happen where I lose them, not always to death either. Every time one goes through grief, it's different I've noticed. I had a lot of time to prepare where both my parents were concerned, so I'm very grateful. That said, I made choices to do all these things because of what I learned in my early 20's. Really not sure how I feel right now, detached is a good description. This was the last connection. I was waiting, so that also good. Can't hurt someone when you have nothing to hurt them with, LOL.
But stiiiilllllll.😢
Much love.
Awww, that felt like a virtual hug that was so warm. Thank you. Still trying to write a post, words are so hard lately. Of course all the photos are done, but words are consitpated. 😂
mushrooms.
I ate cremini mushrooms in my stir fry last night but that didn't do the trick. Instead, I forced myself to scrabble some words in some kind of soup together today, not sure it makes sense, but it's going up anyway.
Yesssss
🤪
