Is there such a thing? I don’t know but I had this thought coming out of my sleeplessness that maybe my courageous tumors could possibly be bumped off their natural trajectory. They have just been doing yeoman’s work trying to make a living in my body. Maybe their courageous stand against all odds could be recognized and they could be transferred, or graduated, or promoted to another venue. They could have a wing at the Tumor Hall of Fame, don’t you think? Anyway, just another creative look at living life.
This morning Annie and I are off to Catalina’s class which is the reason we came this far in the first place. All these other activities that I have been writing about in the last few days have been added on to that. So, Annie’s going to met me shortly and we will find some breakfast and then off to class.
There is some great holiday stuff starting to show up on Facebook. One is a pic of the Deere Pond on Vashon Island. It is a large shallow pond in the shape of a running deer and a close cousin to the John Deere Tractor logo. Which makes total sense since the Mann brothers who crafted it have been moving dirt, smoothing dirt, improving land their whole lives. Actually one passed away a few years ago but one continues. Anyway, back to the pond, every Christmas season they string lights around the water and it is big enough to be seen from airliners flying over if not from space. Very cool, these guys in their greasy duds are premier land artists.
Catalina the art historian is looking on Phil’s Camino the trail as “land art” like the pond. I like it. Something sort of big and rough but effective. Yea, me and the Mann Brothers, land artists.
Well, that’s it for now. Will give you a report on the class. All good, alperfect! Love, Felipe.
I love the deer art. How do they light it up?
Have you considered adding lights to your camino for night Camino Heads? Did you ever meet any of those pilgrims who walked at night? I once walked so early in the morning it was pitch black and I could barely see. I think it’s a little dangerous and I missed seeing some amazing scenery.
Esther ~ have you recovered from our visit? We didn’t drink all that much wine did we? And thank you so much for your hospitality. And thank Daniel. Yes, the deer art, isn’t it terrific? They light it somehow by a really long extension cord or a close by generator. Yea, I was thinking about night walks with torches, a really medieval sort of effect. What do you think? Of course not during the fire season. We did some night walking but technically really early morning walking. In Spain it was so hot in August once we got to the meseta we just started getting up earlier and earlier. But missing a sign my mean heading off in the wrong direction and loosing a lot of distance. OK, hope to see you soon, love, Felipe.
The house and my life are an empty shell without you and Annie here to keep me hopping!
Miss you. I hugged you goodbye but I think you thought it was just a regular hug. Anyway. You’re missed here!
Esther ~ sorry we didn’t have a formal goodbye. Too much going on sometimes. But love you from afar, Felipe.
So much love to you. It’s just a “I’ll see you soon” anyway. Not a formal goodbye. But I love you!
