Mesmerized

March 17, 2020

Where the blue meets the blue, and the white comes and goes

The blue is endless,
until it touches the other blue.
The white fluffs come and go,
Sliding across the blue.
The other white fluffs come and go also,
sliding through the other blue.

I'm mesmerized.
I stare, my mind is finally quiet.
I can think of something I haven't thought of in a long time.
The breeze brushes my skin,
and the warmth of the yellow warms me within.
I'm hypnotized.
I pause.

International Women's Day

March 8, 2020

My late wife Cheryl with her systers Debbie and Patti and their mother Gloria and Debbies daughter Nicole, in 2003

Today is International Women's Day, and I hope you have an excellent day and evening.

Some of my favorite people are women, what would this world be without women? :)

I honestly do hope your day has been great, relaxing, fun; with family or without; alone or with many others I hope you have been appreciated by those around you, if not, know this - I appreciate you, I appreciate your friendship and your thoughts. You mean a lot to this world we live in, more than you can imagine. My thoughts, prayers, friendship goes out to you on this day set aside especially for women, all women of all colors, all nationalities, all religions. If I could give you a hug right now I would hold you in my arms, let you rest your head on my shoulders, and you could feel content, wanted, desired, and needed.

To all women I want to say this: Thank you for your support and love, your care and understanding, your compassion and heart. Thank you, I appreciate you all.

I used to teach English as a foreign language in Barranquilla, Colombia. Now I'm retired and traveling throughout South America.

I'm from Kennewick, Washington, USA. In my previous life, as I call it, I was an IT guy, systems administrator, computer tech, as well as a shipping/receiving guy and also worked as a merchandising guy in a RV/Camping store.
