Hello Fellow Travelers!
Pictures of Northern California fires burning out of control, remind me of just how little protection of any kind is actually there when something "big" happens. There is nothing that can protect you from your fate, it's how you deal with your circumstances that define who you are, what you're made of.
Lately, bold haircuts (hair is dead, after all), minimal furnishings and even more minimal eating (meaning less actual food) have a great deal of appeal for me.
I want everything to be short, simple and plain. Hair, food and floors. Unadorned, natural. The only colors I want are found in the sea and the sky (and possibly in the forest) or in a piece of glass when the sun is shining through it.
If you could get all necessary nutrition from a pellet, I would stock up on pellets! I'll be very happy in a pellet driven universe! Amazon can deliver the pellets to the door!
Nothing but glass and sand to live in, though.
And water everywhere! Water to look at, water to drink, endless water!
Antiques (or more to the point; antique shops) make me claustrophobic! I used to be able to describe what the stores were marking down and who was going out of business!
It's been four years since I've been in an antiques shop!
I'm like Yosemite, I've been stripped down to my "granite" and this is what I have to work with.
Maybe I'm like Northern California since I had cancer (And Nor Cal had the;drought.) I'm profoundly different and fundamentally changed. I feel sharper, faster, happier, far more focused, far less complicated.
After cancer ripped through my brain (and I survived, Thanks, HA!) I have had only one goal, one objective, it makes almost everything else pale in comparison - and that goal is to walk by 10/2015.
That doesn't leave much time so I'll have to be extra prepared, extra ready for whatever dangers lie ahead!
PS - I was watching "Game of Thrones" (Season 5/HBO) and it gave me this great idea! Instead of being a feeble "mute", I have taken a highly noble "vow of silence" for an indeterminate period of time! Pretty cool, no? I must be protesting something pretty important, right? Wrong! I just can't talk! Ha-ha! I just think taking a "VOS" has a little more mystique to it!

Very elegant writing, would be could live in sand, granite, glass and pellets imperious to fire, which I dread above all else, too. The inner courtyard of Mercy General Hospital has a cluster of giant and very dry looking fir trees towering over 4 stories together, they tell me the fire marshall says it's okay, but would you have an old christmas tree around forever? When it erupts after a spark, explosive, and in a poor analogy, a catatonic who suddenly takes action after years of silence, is also explosive and lethal...but they don't write nice prose, either!
