Picturesque

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! Every week we ask some friends to send us a picture of their weekend and tell us a little bit about that picture. Here are this weeks photos:

A Cherry Blossom Bonsai

My sister is an earthy being.
She is a cherry blossom bonsai.
I am her wind, gusts of quick-
wit, thought  & quirk.
Her roots are solid. They keep
me grounded and present.
I lift her to other worlds where
we are free to roam, body-less.
In the distance two birds
soar: Our parents. Our
Spirit guides.

Nick – Cleveland, Ohio

The silhouetted figure with the hat on the second deck reminds me that since I took this photo I’ve taken to wearing a similar type hat.  In fact, I kinda wish that had been me up there, having the time to stare downriver, the Goodtime river cruise skirting around those Cuyahogan bends, with the pre-rain chill of that September night.  Alas, I was running around performing the Rock and Roll equivalent of herding cats instead.  But I still remember taking a moment before snapping this, to stare up at the passing Detroit-Superior Bridge, the object which literally adorns the front yard of my building, and realizing what a novel moment in life it was to be on a boat, with all my friends, cruising in, out, and around the city I love, passing within a stone’s throw of the bed in which I lay my head, with all of it sound-tracked by my favorite bands in town.  And as I ran back to the stage, the only thoughts in my head were:  Do what you love, and the rest will follow.

 

Julie – Boulder, Colorado

This is a sunrise outside of my house this morning. I was taking the dogs out before yoga and did a double take – it was still so quiet and I could hear my mom’s voice saying ‘pink sky at night, sailor’s delight – pink sky in the morning, sailor’s warning.”
