Reality is looking for a job.
The money won’t last.
This idyll won’t last.
The northeast breeze rolls the waves onto the beach.
Where the sun reflects from the water, I cannot look.
Gulls cry.
What fresh heaven is this?
Gulls Cry

You can look. And when you close your eyes, you may see the patterns of light on the water.
the surface of the water is a four-dimensional emulation of the structure of spacetime. i enjoy thinking about that as i watch the lake.
the color of the water shifts constantly within a range of blues and greens and whites and golds. one moment i will look, then i will read a page in a book, then i will look at the lake again and it will have changed.
It made me happy, reading this.
You took a risk, moving your life. Already, rewards.
Many more will follow.
Congratulations to you and yours, for having the courage to live.
thank you, harry. a wise man once told me to find the thing that frightened me and do it.
A great example of not wasting words. What a picture this painted. It will all work out…try not to worry, enjoy what sounds like a beautiful place.
Thank you, Donna. I’m always worried about something (a man’s gotta have a hobby).
This morning I took my shoes and socks off and walked for the first time into the wavelets lapping the beachlet (it’s a short beach — you can see it on Google Maps, it’s Rogers Beach Park in Chicago).
