without Commercials

Post by saw » March 7th, 2023, 12:18 pm

I pointed my camera
at the top of the evergreen
the sun, shimmy shimmy cocoa-pop
the breeze urged all present
to move
waves of sunlight, dance steps
the choreography of the mind
the bop shoo bop, the tiny branches
swaying with wafting pine scent
way better than any car air freshener
It's The Real Show..... Without Commercials !

Lovely! Last night I watched the moon rise while fixing suppah... 1st smiling at me through the eye-level trees... gradually climbing up & to the right, imperceptible if I watched, but obvious if I looked back from time to time... eventually high enough I had to crane my neck... Made me smile each time. My (x)wife & I used to personify it for our daughter - "Ooh, Moonie's up!" The habit persists even now - it'll forever be Moonie to me....

god that's gorgeous. Thanks, Steve for the renewed belief that jazz exists if you just take the time to be around.
dear Roy, moonie is now going to hang out in the desert from now on. hope you don't mind the cultural appropriation.

heartwarming memory for sure

I have a few of those recollections with my daughter as well from a very young age......priceless discussions that define who we all are....we are stories
