This weekend went fairly well.

Random and organized encounters occured. Sights seen, conversations had, memories rememberd, and laughter discovered.

Sunday night... and now I shall descend to slumber. For the morning awaits, as does school.

The other day my father and I went for an exploratory jaunt in the forest. It was a great Father's Day excursion through beautiful coastal rainforest... and we passed a big damp bog filled with my favorite plant. Though they weren't in bloom yet. Oh well. Francis King Park gets a thumbs up from me. Neat place.

"Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own"

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Where are we now?
I've still got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good song, great lyrics.

I've a test tomorrow. I should be studying for it now. Sometimes I'm filled with joy and hope at possibilities and musings, at learning and life. Then in other moments I struggle to find motivation to move on and do what I kinda want to.. but am not actually doing. I wonder how often things stop because they never were started. If only that initial movement had occured... That all said.. I'm gonna go start studying now.

Today I went for a walk to try to clear my head. Down and around my old new stomping grounds. The overcast sky enclosed and kept me. The fresh moisture rested on top of flowers and foliage alike. It was a great day for a walk. The usually crowded park and beach were hardly occupied. I enjoyed it greatly. Now it is time to sleep. A day behind me; done.

The other day I heard that with the proposed climate change cedar trees may not be able to survive in the climate that may come. The longer drought seasons, the heavy rain periods. It will change.. and that's not bad.. but I love this temperate rainforest. And should go take more pictures today.. out in the rain.

Have You Lost Your Cheese?

Yesterday I went for a walk with a buddy of mine who has a good "friend" coming up and wanted some massage advice. I guess I"m not the go to guy on issues like that as well. On the way back from the ocean we were walking along when I noticed this. A forlorn, discared? lost? piece of cheese. Not only was it laying there on the sidewalk but it had actually been run over by a bike. Was it the running down that caused the cheese to halt it's journey? Well I didn't do anything with it so I'm not sure where it's journey's taken it. But I know it'll go on to feed something else, just not what it had in mind. The Circle of Life...... and the wheel of fortune.
