Oh boy
Spring is driving me crazy. My nesting instincts are kicking my butt. I’m about to leave on a trip, may end up travelling by land all the way from Nicaragua to Brazil over the next few months and instead of packing light I’ve bought a double hammock with mosquito net and bedding, massage oil, herbal medicines and oils, all these cosy things that smell nice and feel good. This is not a good time for me to be packing for a major trip like this. Clearly. I just crave having and sharing home comforts right now. It will be interesting to see if I can pull it off, do both travel and have home comforts, without much effort.
And I keep seeing things like this. Which isn’t helping. I am homesick. I want to rest. I. want. to. nest. But I don’t want to settle just anywhere… somehow I will know when I find it.
e você pra me lembrar…
No matter how far I may get in life, whatever exotic treasures I accumulate, however wide I might end up travelling, it doesn’t mean as much as the people I meet along the way. We all have this, even those of us who stay put, but so often we miss the point, counting destinations like notches on a bedpost. (more…)
Fly Ranch, Reno NV
Fly Ranch features two geysers, one of which is dormant. The other, Fly Geyser, was accidentally formed by a water well drill that hit a geothermal source, and continuously sprays hot water. Fly Ranch is private property and does not allow visitors.
I really really really need to see this, somehow, some day.
Added Vitamins. The kiss that makes it all better.
I got treated for multiple cases of dreaded third world lurgy you don’t even want to know about, two weeks ago. I had a feeling something was off when I tripped quite radically to the moon and back after every single meal, for about 4 months now and sure enough, there were a few serious reasons for that. The doctor was amazed I wasn’t in physical pain too and had so much energy when really I should have been bedridden. I am too now that I think about it. A good friend of mine had to fly back home to Sweden in an emergency with this mystery illness. He could barely walk without nearly passing out when I last saw him a month ago and was tripping most of the time I tried to talk to him.
So anyway. The doctors here are amazing. As in, have no freaking idea what they are doing. I just checked out these “nutritional” capsules I was also given to take for a month, and have been taking daily, to “support your immune system and improve brain function”, and they turn out to be Novocaine!?!! With added vitamins. Wow. that. explains. a lot.
I’m starting to realise that anything that comes with “added vitamins” is the first warning.
Just like chocolate milk, stained so dark from puss and blood from overproducing cows they can’t do anything else with it to mask the taste or colour… with added vitamins. Mmmmmm!
little hands
covered in pen and paints
always buzzing round my head
curling tuggy fingers around my hair
pointing new questions at everything
baby monkey mommy monkey piggy back gripping
pressing into steps too giant to climb without
shrugging parents loose crossing streets
massaging tired necks and feet
fashioning spears out of rock
moulding animals and people out of squidgy things
gripping onto handlebars so tight they calloused
chocolate icecream muddy fingernails straight after cleaning
climbing into my neck and curling to sweet smells of hair and cheeks
those perfect little hands I once held and kissed
oh how I MISS those little hands
Total Lunar Eclipse, 21 December 2010
I couldn’t believe how lucky I was last night, to find myself alone this 2am, because for the first time in 372 years, a total lunar eclipse occurred on the date of the northern winter solstice.
The clouds had parted for the occasion and the sky was at its blackest black, framed by the edges of lush jungle trees on this sleeping island. It was a spectacular show with blinking and shooting stars, with only one wish made. On every one of them. I couldn’t believe the colours. Or how long she hung in the sky, swollen like this. I waited an hour before falling sleepy so I never got to watch her final exit. I wish I had.
I am so grateful to be here. So grateful.
Nooooooo waaaaay!
Yes way. Yes. They are all real.
Disturbing Pregnancy Photos
The pics are kinda small. I found I could click on them and drag them into the address bar and they enlarged to their original sizes. But I promise this wont make them any less disturbing.

Help Save Japan’s Dolphins!
More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat. Send a letter to President Obama, Vice President Biden and Japanese Ambassador to the United States Ichiro Fujisaki urging them to address this issue »
