    … stormy skies, quiet back bays and two mallards exploding from the water with no where to go, but by us as they are backed up to 50 foot cliffs and we are blocking the only way out (except by air). The drake has finished hi first wing beat which included slamming them down into the water along with a mighty thrust of his webbed feet to go almost vertical. His mate who is on the right side of the photo is just unfurling her wings to go vertical right behind her mate. It is really a thrilling thing to watch as these beautiful creatures take off.

    Loving this weather and the ground is soaking up the rain and that beautiful green is returning to grass and foliage.

    The 20th century was one of the wettest centuries in the last 7,000 years and the more normal condition for the west and southwest is drought and droughts in excess of 200 years are not uncommon during this period. With our usual foresight the planning seems to have been based on 20th century conditions. A good article on the topic is at: https://www.mercurynews.com/2014/01/25/california-drought-past-dry-periods-have-lasted-more-than-200-years-scientists-say/

    Another new week is underway … are we doing good or what? Breathing, smiling and enjoying life … enjoy it and share your joy with others you happen to meet and greet.

    Cheers,

    LIFE
     
    I sat with the stars on the hill of life
    And looked at the world below.
    I ran with the winds where winds begin
    And followed them where they blow.
     
    I lay by the sea on the beaten rock
    And rode on the farthest wave,
    I watched by a child on its night of birth
    And followed it to its grave.
     
    And love in the still of the star-flecked night,
    When earth was all strewn with gold,
    Has lifted my heart like the chords of song
    Oft sung in the worlds of old.
     
    And though I have not understood all this,
    Made up a laugh and a wail,
    I think that the God of the world knows all,
    And someday will tell the tale.
     
    — Max Ehrmann

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
