Okay, I'm BACK now.......
After some Fuss N' Bother (!!) ........
Funny Thing today was.......
due to my current 'situation' I was, once again, forced into discussions about moving 'back Home' (aka Southern Ontario, where I was BORN and where very nearly every living person I hold near and DEAR to my wee Heart still resides...)
I just can't DO it.
Despite the logical considerations (it does make $$$$) , the generosity and the LOVE involved.....
THIS is my HOME now :
Home of my Heart, if nothing else......it's Odd.....WAY out here all by my Lonesome mostly ......
THIS, is..... quite simply, IT now, for Me anyhow :)
Last weekend, on my Ukee/Tofino wanderings and ponderings, I took A Moment.
Said Moment involved me clambering down the cliff side on some seriously precarious (! have serious bruise on Butt from soaring ten feet off a slimy wooden step to prove it !) stairs to a small, private beach on THE Ultimate West Coast of Canada :)
It was indeed raining, it often IS here.
(Make all the jokes you want about it but rain on Old Growth Forests, mountain peaks and miles long beaches WAY beats rain on acres of asphalt any day....... just sayin' ....)
Get used to and/or OVER it or pack your bags and move somewhere ELSE......this is THE price to be paid LOL (November through April...ish....anyhow ;) of living in PARADISE.
Pride and Ego (I felt every single one of my years when my flailing person finally struck rock ...) aside.....once I settled onto the BEACH it was .............suddenly.......
BLISS <insert major SIGH here>
The showers were, really, only SUN showers......designed merely to dampen but not drown. Gives you something to FOCUS on really........the payback for same?
WOW.
Major WOW !
(aka With Out Words and/or Window Of Wonder )
Whilst reading my latest Kris Radish novel ("Dancing Naked At The Edge of Dawn") I was also Blissed to watch a few Sea Lions playing......a Loon fishing...Eagles Soaring...dogs chasing sticks, children laughing and exploring Tidal Pools......sun SHINING...drizzle misting.......all accompanied by the sounds and scents of THE Sea ...with a wee trickling Brook from behind tossed in *GRIN*
There is absolutely NOTHING like it.
NO Great Lake (and I've known a few ;) can compare......
I AM, entirely, an Ocean Girl :~D
NOTHING.........feels the same or resonates with Just Me :)
EVERY single moment, where my Heart just 'hitched' and my Soul just SANG..........in the past seven years........involved THIS SEA.
Raw. ALIVE........Formidable.....I 'get' it.
Period.
Watching a screening of "Oceans" in the Tofino Community Centre.....discussions following with Biologist Ron O'Dore ....only further cementing 'IT'......

So, come Hell or high water (no joke in Tofino) ............I am HOME.
Such as it is.
My (often) bare feet will continue to patrol, caress and embrace my beaches.....they will giggle whilst walking ,on late mornings, upon the sun steamed moss covered rocks that I hold so dear .......
AND I will continue to simply WILL each and every one of my Ontario and Texas Heartprints.....HERE..........with Me :~D
Works.
Meanwhile, back at this rancher, I will keep leaving place holders (aka Bait...LOL ;)
Light,
