whenever the world presses my mind casts itself to the foamy brine, the broad expanse and craggy rawness beckons. the sea is my natural home, and I am feeling the landlocked claustrophobia most in the artificial extremity of academic closure - my little hothouse. it keeps me occupied and switched on, but I worry about its global soul deadening effects.
I will see it through to the satisfaction of completion but am already relishing my escape from the academy - a place I have lingered far too long
tired of playing the academic dilettante - though I think I will continue to explore my varied interests in an auto-didactic fashion perhaps perpetually
eventually I'd like to acquire-design-build a sturdy seagoing sailing vessel and travel to parts abroad - become a traveler
I'm going home - and when I wanna go home I'm going mobile ... let the police and the taxman miss me

Ephemera
gloves, glass bottles
delicate gesture
hesitant perch
simple offerings
discrete ornate
collecting briefly
mapping pale trajectories
with dancing slipper grace
platter of pins & buttons
hovering thoughts
ghost memorials that linger
flicker and fade
life is motion

I agree re community and the quality of the membership. (Not that I spend time online anywhere else, mind...) And about the pics, as well; they are secondary.
