He “believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther” - FSF

Deeply grateful for every friend and opportunity over the last year, no matter the conclusion. It’s been a privilege just to fully participate in the journey. Wishing everyone a healthy, adventurous and successful year ahead. -P

“free as waves, free from all bondage of words”
.
#closeyoureyes #justlisten #pb
.
Early in the day it was whispered that we should sail in a boat,
only thou and I, and never a soul in the world would know of this our
pilgrimage to no country and to no end.

In that shoreless ocean,
at thy silently listening smile my songs would swell in melodies,
free as waves, free from all bondage of words.

Is the time not come yet?
Are there works still to do?
Lo, the evening has come down upon the shore
and in the fading light the seabirds come flying to their nests.

Who knows when the chains will be off,
and the boat, like the last glimmer of sunset,
vanish into the night?
.

Open the door to thy true love here!
And mind the words that thou and I said
By the fountain cool, in the greenwood shade.'

Driven by your senses, dare to the edge of longing.
Let it all happen to you: beauty and dread.
Simply go - no feeling is too much.
