#science explains the "blue mind"...

"
if you’re looking to clear your head then search for some blue space – whether you’re lucky enough to visit the ocean or just sitting near your local fountain, water has a powerful influence on the brain and can help change your mental clarity, capacity, happiness, and well-being.

When do I get to decide my own fate? I wanna die, is that so hard to relate? Give me a knife, a gun, a tank. I’ll show you my insides, I’ll walk the plank. So where is the wonder, the sun and the fun? I just wanna enter, the dragon who’s done.

So this just happened...

👀

Get emergency alert.
Make drink.
Run outside.
Watch the sky go dark.
Wind picks up.
Start filming time lapse.
Get totally soaked.
Trees are cracking in half.
Can barely see.
Get pummeled with hail.
Lightening flashes all around.
Everything stops.
Wait for phone to dry.

And then I take shelter.

🙆🏼‍♀️

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Here’s a teaser of the storm as it started.

I’m standing on the edge of the continent.

I need scissors to open the scissors.

😆
Thanks, IKEA

I was invited over a neighbors house and OMG #paintings!

Every room is just stacked with so much #art it’s amazing. They need a gallery. I love this place!

So... I MADE IT!

After five hours on the road I arrived at this very lovely house a block away from the beach.

Everything is sooo nice and the weather is great. And now I have a bed to sleep in too! Very excited to finally relax and let it all soak in.

😁🏠🏖

Apparently I took this #photo while in the passenger side of some car, at some point, and some where I don't remember...

True story. It can be difficult to move on from hard times and negative people. But sometimes you have to do what's right for you.

All the monsters along your path - they’re there to help you. Trust the furry tour guides. Believe.

And this weekend - I’m gonna try and get over all my silly issues, head down the coast, and just stay there for a little bit, exactly where I was one year ago, right by the ocean...

On the decks:

Fugazi - Waiting Room

I remember riding for many miles to see them live in NY, and bumping into them right at the corner of the ticket booth. They gave us tickets and we got to chat. No matter how you feel about their music, what a bunch of brilliant minds and a memory I'll never forget.

#poem part 2...

Love has in store for me one happy minute,
And She will end my pain who did begin it;
Then no day void of bliss, or pleasure leaving,
Ages shall slide away without perceiving:
Cupid shall guard the door the more to please us,
And keep out Time and Death, when they would seize us:
Time and Death shall depart, and say in flying,
Love has found out a way to live, by dying.

- John Dryden
