Views like this one, is my most favorite scenery. I have always loved when the sky is cloudy and then the sun peaks through creating light and shadow on the ocean. Here the breaks are in several places creating the effect of ripples continuing on out to sea. Other times there is this one glow on a spot far out to sea. It makes me want to jump in a boat and row, sail, kayak out to the light. In chase of the light I go. Drawn to it as the light beacons to me.. Come forth, come forth. My best friend's mom used to say that to her such views on either land or sea was God's way of peaking through shining his light and love to earth. And perhaps that is why I desire to go to the light so I can look up, smile, and say, "Hello, God. It is I sending love to you in return."And so spent a blissful Memorial day on my favorite peninsula--Palo Verdes. It is the only "country" part of the entire city and I do not feel that I am in the city as the peninsula to the south hides the city. I am so fortunate it is only a 35-40 minute drive through stop and go lights (no freeways in this part of the city).
It was more of a quiet day for reflection and ponder the newest changes in my life thus far as wayfarer living in Los Angeles. It has truly taken time to adjust to the changes from Tempe. Not so much as the place but the people I have left behind. My fond, fun, laughing, dearest friends and roommates (one has moved back to Hawai'i). Sometimes I feel sad that the physical distances are so far apart but I do know that we continue to share in spirit, soul, and dream. And that is precious.
And in the present moment when I sat on the ledge over looking the Pacific (don't worry Mom, I was not dangling my feet and legs over the edge), everything seemed to come into focus. I am content by the ocean. Happy, connected. And it is here I wish to stay. Not so much as LA itself but close by the sea. And marvel the beauty of the ruggedness of cliff, mountain, hill tumbling down to meet the tides ever moving in rhythm, sharing in the rhythm of life.

Ah yes......
you have been hypnotized by the call of the mighty Pacific ocean.
So... when was it, I, like blown cloud, could not stop dreaming of traveling the coast, up and down. Gary Snyder
Dream some deep Pacific blue dreams, they can fill a life time,

From what book did the Synder quote come from?
Ah, so the power of the mighty Pacific has gotten me. Hope it will not be too dangerous of a hyponosis/spell. :)
Ah yes, there is nothing like the dreams that come forth from Pacific blue... I recall that from the summer in Kalaloch.
Soon Wayfarer, you will once again have the opportunity to experience the hypnotic affect of the croaking frogs and peepers at Rolfe Pond. Some day you may get the chance to view reflections of fall foliage on the still pond waters on a quiet October day. So peaceful yet sad as this marks the end of another season and a 6 month wait until the next.
Ah, my "mystery" writer. Thanks for the great photos. At first I was surprised to get wonderful photography sent from you and was wondering what had prompted such an action. And I then saw the "reflection" photos of Cape Breton. I thought what coincidence since the pictures strangely matched an entry in my blog and that you had used "hypnotic." I went to check and lo and behold, yes, an entry by contookie. Ha! Clever, clever.
You know, Uncle Pete, you ought to really do something with your photography. The second photo of Cape Breton was a knockout. I could stare at it for hours and hours! It is truly hynotic and mesmerising.
I like the other pictures too. Did find the woodpecker. It is nice to see Rolfe Pond in autumn folage... so very beautiful.
Am looking forward to coming in a few weeks. How fun!
Yes, these are exactly the type of images I have been seeing in my mind's eye- before I saw your posting! I think I am connected on a different level to your blog!
