What is it that’s missing? There’s so much to see Learn touch and feel. We paint our own picture Don’t we? And is there any limit To the colors we choose, Or size of canvas we use? Why do we then define each day With an ink pad and rubber stamp instead? It is all around [...] -

more protective of their offspring than grizzly mamas
grasping at your sleeves
holding on tenaciously
tearing at your hands
is that blood or berry juice trickling down your arm?
then
the sheer pleasure
of berries pressed between the tongue and the roof of the mouth
sweetness reminiscent of the blooms
delight

saltmarsh wrote a new blog post: The Shapes of Memories 1 year, 11 months ago
Physical shapes hold memories, something I quite firmly believe in, a visceral truth. I took this photo on a journey to the west coast in between high school and college. I thought of it then as a phenomenal photo op, nothing more, but today I see things differently. On that same journey I drove my little [...] -

Walking along the cusp of ocean and shore , overturning notions I can’t envision, the honking buoy serves notice that at any time the wind may change, the reef-bell clatters its treble monotone, deaf as Cassandra to any note but warning. The ocean, cumbered by no business more urgent than keeping open old accounts that never [...] -

Is there a common goal all men should strive for? The easy answer is obvious, and while I agree with the chorus of, “yes,” that I imagine is the reply, I differ in opinion on the specifics. Perhaps there is an alternative, or at very least a complement, to the beauty pageant answers. As modern human beings [...] -

Adams Beads wrote a new blog post: Shhh… 2 years ago
Some things we say
are better left unsaid;
are better felt instead.
Especially those things

”Physical shapes hold memories” – this is why we hold onto the most ridiculous things, isn’t it? I have my father’s watch, a big clumsy ugly thing but it is something he wore every day while I was growing up. On a whim I asked him if I could have it, since he no longer wears it. When I hold it, memories rush in.
