selling my popsicles

15 (slow) seconds of glory

Must... Reach... Sea...

--

This turtle was found shot in the head, taken care of by wonderful people, and re-realesed to the ocean.
Sometimes we do good things.

juggle with fire

Fire juggling can be a dangerous thing.
You might get burnt.
You have to be concentrated the whole time.
You don't know if you will make it.
You don't know if the crowd will even like it.
Or at least appreciate it.

But all of these don't really matter,
if when the show is over you can say to yourself:

"I tried, I did it, I took another step".

beach time

banjo Joe

Banjo Joe,
Sitting in the sun,
Playing his banjo;
Is he happy when a coin drops?
Is he happy when a tune works?

beer zen

We sit on a wooden bench,
Scars decorate its brown surface.
A hot summer's day,
The air is humid, thick with thoughts.
Cold glass enters,
Filled with my favorite.
As I drink the air is lighter,
There is no beer.
Just me.

"And Moses lifted up his hand, and smote the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their cattle."
Numbers 20:11.

"וַיָּ֨רֶם מֹשֶׁ֜ה אֶת־יָדֹ֗ו וַיַּ֧ךְ אֶת־הַסֶּ֛לַע בְּמַטֵּ֖הוּ פַּעֲמָ֑יִם וַיֵּצְאוּ֙ מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֔ים"
במדבר כ, יא'


I Only see nature

silence

"Silence is the source of great strength."
Lao Tzu


“To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.”
Abraham Lincoln


"Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech."
Martin Farquhar Tupper


"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
Martin Luther King, J.

decisions

So many decisions in the past month.
So many hard ones,
the most difficult ones I have ever made.
And the price paid was and still is very very high.

I never know if I made the right choice.
How could anyone?
What I feel and what I think battling endlessly in my head.
Never resting.
Always moving. Shifting. Changing.

Decisions come and go - and each time I'm still unsure,
Have I made the right choice? Is it good for me? Will it do good in the future?

Must be the player now, take responsibility for my actions and face the consequences.

no words

No words today, just feelings.

all is happening

And I feel stationary.

Might be the holiday (Passover tonight),
Or just the need for security.

towers and flowers

You go blowing flowers in the wind, I'll go photographing towers.
.
Amazing.

letting go

is the hardest thing i have ever done.

unemployment

Happens sometimes...

yellow days

i'dLikeToBe

Sometimes in all the turmoil around you,
you just want to sit down and gaze at the world.
Like stopping a rain-drop in mid-air,
while it's pouring rain.

Unbelievable silence. Amidst all the noise.
Satisfaction.

Then, when you go back to all the chaos,
it's like you've grown a hundred times in size.

something for nothing

Waiting for the winds of change
To sweep the clouds away
Waiting for the rainbows end
To cast its gold your way
Countless ways
You pass the days

Waiting for someone to call
And turn your world around
Looking for an answer to
The question you have found
Looking for
An open door

You dont get something for nothing
You dont get freedom for free
You wont get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be

What you own is your own kingdom
What you do is your own glory
What you love is your own power
What you live is your own story
In your head is the answer
Let it guide you along
Let your heart be the anchor
And the beat of your own song

Rush, Something For Nothing

shrads of light

Things look pretty complicated -
but I can see the light from here.

fire

For so many years we have been continuously scorched by fire.
Yet we did not extinguish it.

Nor has anyone.

It is time for us to make all the fuel burn at once,
so everyone else could live safely.

After fire always comes regrowth...

Nothing to say today - just work...
