Equinox: One Year Later

... it was on this date one year ago that i uploaded, via my BlackBerry, this post which unofficially re-launched this blog.

As i walked out of work tonight, i took a deep breath of the celestial canvas, a masterpiece in progress, and exhaled, giving it all back. The season's Rhythm and Beauty.

Like new.

The Fire Somewhere

... it's been a summer without any major nearby brush and wildfires.

That's The View, Folks!

I've always preferred taking my breaks outdoors ...

A Vernal Breath of New Fire

"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave." ~Rainer Maria Rilke

(An)Other Plane

somewhere there I dreamed
spaceships descended from clouds
abducting my heart.
awake in your galaxy,
in your starlight ... forever.

Haiku Solar nu.2

recuerdo alas
entre nubes subiendo
hacia tu cielo

Solar Haiku #1

focus. kiss the flares.
eye open soul's aperture:
point. shoot. let you in.

My Sol To Take

"This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24)

... the sun sets on the Chinese lunar calendar year of the rabbit. I was born in the rabbit year of 1975 [Wood Rabbit to be exact; 2011 was a Metal Rabbit year]. From what I gathered, the rabbit was supposed to be the luckiest of signs. And if 2011 was a "lucky" year for me, I'd hate to go through an unlucky year!

I give thanks to the ancestors and to Creator for dreaming and lighting the road I embark on and recreate each day: to grow, love, and live fully.

And now ... Enter the Dragon.

"Heart of the Wind"

Taken on the morning of 30 November ... hours before strong hurricane force Santa Ana winds ripped through L.A. The San Gabriel Valley was hit hardest. Pasadena declared a State of Emergency. Thousands of uprooted and fallen trees damaged roads and homes and power outages resulted (and remain) from fallen power lines.
