My World

April 4 2006. I'm home today. No school for this piddler. What am I doing with myself lately that would constitute a life worth living? Growing sprouts, eating lots of sliced vine ripened tomatoes with avocado, thinly sliced (small) onions, basil and Umi Boshi Plum vinegar drizzled on top (excellent flavors by the way, try it!). As for how I spend my love of the outdoors that involves walks with the dogs on the beach, biking all over this little island and sailing small boats; laser, sunfish, opti, 420 and a JY15. Racing has moved into the spot light for me recently. Another part of my life in the spot light is my art. I have been putting together found objects into assemblages I call "Awesome Blaj". They are mostly pieces of debri washed up from flooding during hurricanes. I find them on my walks with the dogs to Little Hammaca park. Nella is under my chair right now and the weather outside today is perfect. The birds are really happy, making me wish I was one. My new hammock is the latest love of my life; made of parachute material...luxurious! My first mission upon waking is to find my way to this hammock on the porch, nestle myself in "facing the sunrise" pose and then meditate while soaking up the good vibrations. Why can't life be like this everyday? It is the coziest thing I've purchased for myself since my feather pillow. Even better, I take my feather pillow with me for the sunrise celebration! One day I hope to take both to the beach and show them a good time between the coconut palms. rrrrrrrrr. For money and how I spend the rest of my time, I substitute teach at Key West High. It's the kids I enjoy; while giving me a steady income to survive in this civilized society I find myself somewhat trapped by.
