Forward, forward and remembering what was wonderful


The image here is a little movie I took in
2011 while walking on the vast beach
that's created at low tide in the Minas
Basin in Nova Scotia.  I have not had time to paint today.
To get an idea of the scale of the cliffs notice the size of the tall
trees, and the houses when you can see them in
the distance.  This is one vast space. The sound is the wind.

These memories are vital and profound.  We've seen so much beauty on our
travels. I was talking to Steven today about memories.  He wishes he'd kept
better records of where he's been and what he's done.  But we need to live
in the present moment.  Cherish the past of course, but as my friend Melinda
Esparza, the wonderful artist in Tucson, Arizona says, "Forward, forward like
the dogs."

Have a loving your life day.
