Hi Braindance 5!  Thanks for posting the beautiful pictures and songs.  I'm enjoying spring fever with gardening and qigong practices outdoors.  I love that the beach is nearby.

Thanks for your encouragement and inspiring ideas during our meeting times.  

I thought you might like this ^

Here's one of the poems I shared at residency put to music...I thought it might be interesting for you to see how it evolved into a song from a poem.

(Song)

A Ghost is among us

To tell the truth,
a ghost is among us.
This white love
comes from the darkness.

You become real
and I can barely see.
You're taking shape
to my naked eye.

A broken hour leaves
it's moments scattered.
You've given to me
something that I needed.

I see you now
plunging in your water.
Your eyes holding light
at the very beginning.

Like getting lost
in a breaking wave,
I can only hope
you'll be there again.

(Poem)

To tell the truth

A ghost is upon us.
This white love
coming from
darkness.

Becoming real.
Only barely
visible to my
naked eye.

A broken hour
leaves it’s
moments
scattered.

You have given
something to me
I didn’t know I needed.

I can’t describe
my loss of time
in this brief,
brief dance.

I see you now
plunging
into your water.

Your eyes
holding light
at the very beginning
of night.

Like getting lost
in a breaking wave
I can only hope
you will be there
when I emerge

 It's always funny to leave our haven, eh?

Things up and over here are waking up, the colors lightening and so many scents in the air.  Today I laid on the beach with my sweetie and a box of sweet peppers.  It's still pretty cold, but we can pretend spring is here.

Here are my friends, human- and moss-kind!  

Oh, pals, sweet dreams,

If you can guess, I've been studying patterns in nature, and how they can be used in permaculture. For example, a spiral is a useful way to compact a lot into a tight space. So, if you have a tiny backyard in an urban setting, you can increase your growing surface by making an herb spiral.
