[u]been here in Santa Monica
Waiting for the borders of Chile to open
Captive : wandering..

At first.. it was the homeless
How survival and the way
Of some suitcases chained together

Then there was a person that sort of just sat in the parking lot
With a computer- like it was his office.
I worried about how they could do whatever they
Need to do
I pray for them

Then it was the dog walkers
This is often interesting

But the large lady on rollar blades in a thong..
that was a sight ..

On my way home to the hotel
I spotted a blind man I had seen before
He walks slow hunched over with his cane

He was also about to walk into a pole.
I yelled “wait.. move to your left — there is a pole there..
he heard me
It’s a good thing- as his leash was a bit screwed up as well

These are my moments
2 days to Chile 🇨🇱

I'm endlessly fascinated by the people I see around me
we are this crazy combination of unique beings that mingle about.... in our own worlds much of the time
you captured that
the snapshots of life itself.... 8)

How cool is that? Always wanted to check out Chile. Have a great sojourn.

Nice descriptions of "So-Cal" in your writing. Just the sort of people I'd imagine. They really exist!

The sunrise calls me to that violet
The chill is inside the bones now
The greens have never been this rich
The color turns me on
Big time
Learning a new language is going to be an adventure
I have a beautiful Chilean feminist teacher
I love the way people talk
-
The wood burning stove in my house is like a cool hippie dream that came true
An oven even with a buddah in the yard
My sons love me
They know I love my solitude
Interesting how well they know me
Joni Mitchell sings songs in my garden now
The city noise is 3 hours away
My granddaughter is not born yet
But we await like a giant family in anticipation
