Month: March 2008

i was talking on the phone with Jorge while the sun was setting
yesterday

a sea turtle had come up to rest in the sand

as a child
turtles were my favourite creatures
oh… and frogs

so I was so happy to see this tortoise
I sat next to her
sang a little
talked with her

she was sleepy

I’d promised Jorge I’d up a picture but ran off to pick up Leo from
the air port
so… just remembered

good morning

… slightly sunburned
and I stabbed it with a branch
here in the warren

the sun on it
the burning
the pain of the little scrape

I reach up to feel it
and am surprised at how large my shoulder is now

I’m becomming a man

(if a Man means to get larger with time
falicy or not
that’s how I’ve always imagined it)

Yesterday morning
just after waking up
walking in the grass
I slipped on a hidden lava rock
and ripped my foot open

so it kinda hurts to walk
not unbearable
but enough to slow me down
and dissuade me from long hikes

apparently
there is some terrible and virulent bacteria in the water here that
can cause horrible infections
if you have an open wound

so…
I’ve been resting
I guess I’m here to rest…

only slightly sunburned
I’ll head back out to the nude beach again today
late in the sun
stay in the shade…

I’d wanted to be in the the ocean everyday…
hope it heals up quick

I know, i’ve still not journaled about it
and i posted a few vids at youtube a while back
but i just got all the pics up on flickr today

you can see the full set (for those of you not on my friends list there, there are many that are “hidden” because they contain nudity) by clicking here

(in other news)
i got a new camera. a Sony w200
i’d wanted it for a while
and had been playing the ebay game for over two weeks once i decided to get it

got a “store” version for less than $200
this was one of the pics that was in the internal memory

(some pics i took are available at flickr by clicking this picture… they’re of the forest in my neighborhood and Jorge… mostly…)

I feel groggy
but I’m coming to …

there are cats everywhere
citrus fruit carpeting the ground

jump in the ocean?
walk around the farm?

go find the Internet to post the stuff I prepared on the plane?

… I know it’s around here somewhere…

but the island gives a prevading sense of Laze…

I just want to get back in bed
but with so many options…

I lay on the lava stones and let the sea wash over me

I’ll be asleep soon

perfect timing

3am in New York is 9pm in Hawaii
and isn’t that a more civil time to head to bed?
