a preciousness of life...


If we could get the heat out of the high 80s & rid us of those vicious west nile mosquitoes, i'd feel better out in the night. But the sunsets ARE incredible.

We live out in the woods. Real country & country people. And they're still burning debris piles from Katrina. So last night was another fire that got out of control from a neigbhor. Had the forest service & parish fire department cutting fire breaks. Fortunately we were safe. But it puts a nervousness in you - an immediacy.

...a preciousness of life.

Yes, the world is still mad, i agree. More obvious of its insanity. While we push forward in our creativity, making the moments our own. It's sometimes difficult to create inside all this ugliness, isn't it? i feel so much outrage. Then it weeps away & i tap on my PC keys or i work on editing a short film or i do a quick sketch. i find, my furstration subsides, when i take walks in our woods. It levels the madness, makes my thoughts less important while nature carries on...

i just wish all our trails hadn't been covered by the hurricane. But what can you do? Survive & dream...
