Vein of My Existence

Sun shoots through stark naked branches.The criss-crossed shadows explode below like swollen and varicosed veins painting the road.The path ahead of me is bloodshot at best.

The Forgotten Coast

Why Florida? I never wanted to live here before. I'm stunned that I'm here now. It's an easy link for me actually; I've been here before. Coming back again during a turmoil is as natural and complete as a clam closing shut.
I was younger then, and the fear of failure non existent. I had nothing to loose- but what should I loose now? Why is loss bad for you? Can it not be a good and normal occurence? I'm in mind of that clam again: hold tight. Perhaps it's the change that is scary-and having said that- it's less scary now. Soothing thoughts out by just writing them- is it that easy? I actually don't have much to write about then. My fear of change exposed and calmed- I'm ready for a little exploration and fun.

Today is a burst of dragonfly day. Too new here to determine if this a migration or simply a boom of local population, there are millions of them zigging by the cottage today. Their flight pattern is that burst of sureness followed by a quick little jot to the side and down; is this an evolutional success to prevent being eaten by a passing bird? This is an amazing place that brings something new each day. This is the kind of change I can acquire a taste for. Nummie.
