Blue-footed booby,
quirky clown, gallivanting
your Galapagos.

As you can plainly see from my photos, if in future you seek an audience with the blue-footed booby on North Seymour Island, be sure to wear your old shoes. 😉 The blue-footed booby is not limited to this island, but it’s a popular mating spot.

This haiku is written in response to Fake Flamenco’s June 2023 Poetry Challenge. (Thank you, Rebecca Cunningham.) #ffpoemapop

Walk with Nature

9 Replies

I just came back from a walk at “my park”, and it’s such a gorgeous morning. Sun’s out, and everything feels shiny. I did not encounter a single robot on my walk! Imagine when we start seeing that. Or, perhaps we should be actively imagining that it never happens.

One of my favorite nature walks ever was a small group excursion around North Seymour Island, Galapagos Islands. It was mating season on North Seymour, and love was definitely in the air. This female frigate bird and her baby seemed to be smiling at me and the rest of the visitors. The bird with the inflated chest is a male frigate hoping to attract a female. His chest looks like a big heart, does it not? Very eye catching, but sneaky, as love likely won’t have much to do with it. 🙂

Speaking of love, for my story about an encounter with a blue-footed booby and her misplaced egg on that excursion, click here: A Little Love Story

Hope you have a great weekend, however you are spending it. 🙂 Try to reserve some time to spend in nature, even if it’s just a walk around the neighborhood park.

Take a moment to get a free ebook for a weekend read.

Books, The Beach, & Manifesting

Travel far, pay no fare… A book can take you anywhere. ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Life was too confining, and I felt too small in the real world I inhabited when I was a child. I was a voracious reader, and books were my escape and pleasure. Perhaps it was a calling of my soul? In any case, in my bedroom holding a book, I transformed to a traveler and adventurer. The world was my oyster, and there was much to discover.

Flash forward many years, and I found myself traveling. It actually wasn’t something I planned. Life unfolded in such a way as to manifest my book-honed childhood dreams.

The title photo is one I took at Hat Maya, or Maya Beach, Thailand, a beach made famous in the 2000 movie “The Beach”. The water is really that color, as you will see if you go to this movie location link: The Beach 2000

The beach in my pic is a small one off to the right of THE beach in the movie. In actual fact, it is not seen at all in the film, and I was surprised to discover it when I traveled to the real deal. They also used clever camera angles in the movie to create the illusion of an enclosed bay. It’s really not. But illusion is a subject matter for a different day…

The real point being, be cognizant of your thoughts, because they really do eventually create your reality. What are you feeding your mind from your phone every day that is creating your future reality? Is it the life and world you want to see manifest eventually?

If you think of your life as a movie, you are both the star and the director. You have the power. Make it a good one!

Families dissolve,
society dismantled.
The elephants weep.

I have much more to say about elephants, and how humans can learn from them. In fact, we can learn from all of nature. But that’s for another day.

I’ve been working all week on a compilation of the best from my Hart Haiku collection. Hart Haiku was my first blog site, and I posted there between May 2019 and August 2020. Each haiku was accompanied by expanded commentary in the posts.

That writing was important, because the haikus revealed to me what I most wanted to say. As it happened, it fell into three categories: Nature, humanity (including society), and self-fulfillment. That blog was therefore an important springboard for my writing moving forward. It’s also makes for an interesting collection, because I made special photo art cards to display the haikus. The ebook contains what I consider to be the 100 best.

Anyway, watch for the announcement this coming week when I get it listed in my store. Perhaps you’d like to pick up a copy. 🙂

Have a beautiful weekend. Please treasure your family.
