The Here and Now
I awoke this morning and realized
That my two weeks of here and now are over
That here and now that allowed me to rise
Listening to the ocean and the buoy sounding
That here and now that had me wildly snapping pictures
Of whales and waterfalls, of craggy coast lines and wiggling lobsters
Exploration, Freedom, and Being in Control of My Life
Growing up, summer vacations meant hiking in Mammoth Mountain. After the first couple consecutive years, I was ready to go somewhere else. We used to go other places—Palm Springs, Big Bear, San Francisco, Arizona, Utah. We even went all the way to Disney World when I was seven. So I began looking through the AAA book for some new ideas.

I’ve always been a bit strange. As a child, I collected trash. Like old Reese’s wrappers. I’m not sure if I felt bad for the poor thing not having any chocolate-covered peanut butter left in it, or if I thought the wrapper was pretty, or what. All I know is I gave literal meaning to one’s man trash is Brianna’s treasure.

Holiday in Sweden: Sunsets
Some pics from Luleå, Sweden during our holiday here. With between 22 degr C to 32 degr C, we enjoy the weather and the beautiful colours during the nights, when the sun sets.
The girl in the photos is my daughter Nathalie, 10 years old.
