Gratitudes

Today I'm grateful for the canopy of open night sky, especially out at sea when the stars are thick ,vibrant and pulsating from times long since passed. Pitch black, running on adrenaline and your compass course at 3:oo in the morning. The rythmn of the boat slicing through the swells ,it was made for this. The joy at daybreak on the open sea.
The Alstromeria that Pam picked out for the back garden, blooming from early spring to the first freeze. Still going strong!
German engineering, the Porsche at 110 just getting into its power curve feeling like 65mph. only once, no orange jump suits for me.
Pam's remarkable health insurance, without it all would be lost.
The autumn harvest time at all the farmers markets.
Neil Youngs "Harvest Moon"
All the new children on the block coming by at Halloween
the thought that I may be at peace with all of this in my lifetime.
