Pink Cloud - Cobalt Cloud: Morning
What do you do
the day
after
the holidays
?
Early birds at the Beach
Ships keep their appointed rounds,
charted on some desk far away,
to meet a shipment,
itself in movement
to that meeting,
plotted in a
different office
on a different
continent.
Hawaiians of old
sailed in double-hulled,
two-masted canoes
following the stars:
arriving
departing
founding kingdoms;
Bringing new ideas
and plants,
like bloggers
of the sea.
Steersman steer,
call the stroke;
ride along
you lazy bum!
" Day After?"
Wonders dear Birdy.
"Isn't TODAY All? "
" The creation
of the world
did not take place
once
and for all time,
but
takes place
every day. "
Samuel Beckett

Who am I

Warmly, cloudia
Aloha Cloudia! Hope you are having a great season! Sorry for the absence, but 2012 was definitely a difficult year here in Portugal, and even worse for me...
ReplyDeleteWish you a very Happy 2013, and enjoy Grenada in Blogtrotter Two!
The day after Christmas was even hotter and busier than the day itself, Cloudia..when you have a pool in hot weather it can get hectic..but fun !!
ReplyDeleteP.s. the lemon lime and bitters was 'straight'.40C and alcohol don't agree with each other haha!
ReplyDeleteI have been noticing the strange looking characters at the end of the comments you have left here and there lately. I also noticed that > < 3 3 3 ( ' > was left at the end of this piece, and I am wondering what is going with that? That is, if you do not mind saying, of course.
ReplyDeleteDa boat is heavy at the back; empty boat? Isn't today's birdie unique: pink eyes and feet, and a bit pale? Goof off on day after holiday; best recovery. DrumMajor
ReplyDeleteSince the roads are still bad, I'll take the day to read blogs and take down some decorations....glad when that task is completed.
ReplyDeleteI sleep in the day after holidays. Or try.
ReplyDeleteAloha Cloudia, My morning after I shared the song Happy, Day After Christmas-(to shut-ins too)with, the light of the world, by Matthew West (glorious song) then what work must be done-followed by a movie with a few loved ones,(not tied up in the daily grind)and treasuring every moment, never wanting to be sorry. That includes all my animal friends too. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely thought!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures today!
ReplyDeletePo Świętach będzie szara rzeczywistość, ale świat i tak jest piękny. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteGray after Christmas will be a reality, but the world and it is beautiful. Yours.

Oh, this has been a wonderful post again and I love ALL the pix! Wish I could be there instead in our wet and cold grayness. Just started freezing again; at least the world glitters nicely here now.

Enjoying that from year to year, celebrations become quieter and with lesser presents.
ReplyDeletePlease have you all a good Friday.
Isn't it funny how you hear something over and over. I keep hearing that God is still here and the story is not finished. Why not?
