Going Wherever my Feet take me...

I am not sure if I have posted this album up yet... But it keeps getting bigger and bigger as time goes on... So I am posting up a slide show of it...

Fuego de los Muertos...

So we went...
We saw...
We participated...
In what seemed like almost everything...

A bite of this...
A taste of that...
A hug here...
A dance there...

New friends...
Net friends...
Sibling bonding...

It was all good...

And then the wind kicked in...
And picked up...
Picked up my tent too...
Like a giant breathing monster, heaving in and out, puffing up billowing clouds of dust and dirt...

So we packed it in...
Then packed it out...

And were home in time to take a shower...
And then another...
And crawl in between clean sheets...
Dreaming of food we were too tired to fix...

And then the fires came...

And I was glad for the niggling need in the back of my scull telling me to toss in the towel and go home...
I would not have made it there otherwise...

So there is something to be said for that gut reaction, instinct and intuition thing...

And in the end...
There are happy memories and photos...
The photos I'll share...
The rest...
Well...
You just had to be there...

So true... But...

The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else. -- E. E. Cummings

So true...
But...

It makes me wonder if we are the biggest culprits of them all...

What would happen if it all just was...
If we just were...

But then that makes me wonder so much more...

In the end...
I hope...

I went, I saw, I committed TREE...

Yesterday was a strange day... It was bound to be... It was SF DECOM...

Yes... We made it... A few hours later that I had planned... But you know how it goes when nothing is what you want to wear and all you can think of is chocolate... I need chocolate... Must have chocolate... Can't have chocolate...

But arrive we did... In our Playa-wear, ready to see and be seen... And see we did. It was an orgasmic eye-candy extravaganza to behold... Finery and frippery everywhere... Smiles and hugs and more hugs... I waffled between a tourist with my camera glued to my face, snapping away at everything, and a participant laughing and dancing with the best of them...

There are tons of photos... I posted some in my photos if you want to take a gander... Please... Leave a comment... It's like a verbal hug, or a way of saying that you came and saw... Also... If you would like to see the full album of things that caught my interest at the DECOM yesterday... If you feel like playing a Burner version of "Where's Waldo"... Feel free to take a peek at my Picasa album.

San Francisco DECOM 2007

In there you might find:
a polar bear
a pair of penguins
too many tutus
a bevy of bees
escapees from gerlach county prison
a handful of hoopers
flags a flyin'
a tiny twirler
several stilters
endless enjoyment plastered on happy faces
a couple of kisses
a few lookie-loos
and of course... me... committing tree

Yup...

Yesterday was indeed momentous... The Boyfriend and I did the unthinkable... Caught up in the moment, and with heartfelt thanks to the Tree Huggers Camp, The Boyfriend and I committed TREE together. And there is a photo to prove it... And you can tell by my huge grin that this is a good thing... It is a huge step for us... A gigantic leap in the whole commitment arena... Who knows what may happen next? Babies, marriage, equity, dogs, other plants??? Well... Let us not put the cart before the horse... That stuff is still so very, very, very (did I say very?) far off... We'll leave all of those things to our friends. With a new announcement of : We're getting married/ having a baby/ had a baby/ bought a house/ got a puppy/ said "I love you"/ flying to the moon... that has been going on, there have been plenty of good things in the air. (And I am really, really, really (did I say really?) happy with OUR new tree...)

So...

Life is moving forward... And it's TREEmendously spectacular!

Worth a thousand words...

If what they say is true…
That a PICTURE is worth a thousand words…
And I am verbose by nature…
Then today…

This should suffice…
