I got up late. Forgot to set my alarm. I feel rested tho! It's good I overslept today as I do not go to work until 12:30. No activity around the Front Porch. No visitors or even a single passerby. Unless I count the OFBS member (
Order of the
Flying
Blood-letters
Society) that tried to stop for breakfast on my elbow, which I don't. Count as a visitor, I mean... I don't count them as visitors so much as invaders. I'm repeating myself a lot lately. Anyway, I'm happy to say the OFBS member didn't ruin my morning, although I may have ruined his. The good aroma of the ocean was strong again this morning. Smells wonderful!! Makes me wanna play hooky and go splash in it's waters!! But I am not a hooky player. And, no, I have no regrets there. It's what I choose. Except on extremely rare occasions. For me to play hooky the reason must be very compelling. Avoiding responsibility so I can sit around and engage in pointless conservation or activity, not compelling enough. Attempting to create a great, and I repeat, GREAT memory, just might be. There wasn't a single bird sound within ear range. Not one. I focused my hearing and caught the traffic in the distance, the crickets, the cicadas, another insect with a similar-but-not-the-same cicada like sound and a dog barking somewhere in the neighborhood. Then, there was that faint constant hum. I wonder sometimes if that's the sound of all the collective sound waves made by everything that makes noise in the world. Either that or tinnitus. My eyes latched onto this beautiful clump of, I don't know for sure, clover maybe? A weed, to be sure, in most peoples lawns. I guess I just love weeds. I truly do. The natural wildness and beauty of them. That elevates them from weedhood. At least in my world. But, if I found one engaging in parasitic symbiosis and choking off my food supply... weedhood status instantly reinstated.
So, my nose, eyes and ears have all had a gentle awakening this morning. My sense of touch is suffering from those things that people with constant skin issues must endure. May your skin forever be healthy and never suffer. My taste is still asleep. I am going to make a conscious effort not to be brutal with my taste buds. That might not be a good idea. After so many years of harsh awakenings I might put them into shock. Plantation Mint or Constant Comment tea? Either should do the trick! Oh, I found a beautiful fungus to add to my collection. Actually, I think I already have one of these in my photo collection, but this one deserves to be added for aesthetic reasons.
A mushroom flower! Is that not beautiful!? I must be off! Even tho I made a wish to you and your skin already, there is nothing wrong with second wishes!!! May your day be filled with Great Grand and Glorious things that awaken and delight all your senses!!! I love you!! Live Laugh and Love, Travelers!! The Universe awaits!!
