Redwoods and Rain
The quickest post from the land of redwoods and rain, where we're at the Tomales Bay Workshops till Sunday. Actually, the moment of sun was so startling this morning--and it really was a moment--that I probably chased it off by holding my camera up to it. Still, there's nothing else like that thick pool of cold I associate with forests like these. Though that cold strikes me as static, my mind is never static in relationship to it. I'm always thinking into it. I'm always saying, why do I resist you, why do I want sun, wind, and weather to break you up and push you on? Meanwhile, the thick pool of cold hovers just above the ground, ghosty, indifferent.

Looks so much like turn out over Sandy Hook.
Adore, adore the thick pool of cold. "Though that cold strikes me as static, my mind is never static in relationship to it." A suggestive and complex idea--as if that static cold has ability to push back, but only because of the energy of the thought approaching it. An odd pairing of wits.
You're right, another version of the Atlantic Highlands view, but thousands of miles west!
Actually, the thick pool was never as static as I thought it was. By mid-afternoon a wind kicked up, and since then it's been really raining. I hear it on the roof and leaves right now, a little past 6 AM. It's both pleasant and why I'm on-line, pre-coffee.
Thank you for pointing out that meeting of minds.
I wanted to make it up there last night but just too tired after a day of training to face the winding roads. Hope you are having a great time...I love Pt. Reyes.
Thanks, Gwynne. It would have been wonderful to see you, but I completely get it about the winding roads. We had to go into San Rafael yesterday for some errands and it wasn't exactly a hop, skip, etc.
Did you say you were in Tiburon for the weekend? Or am I making that up? I have to re-see my Facebook page.
Lovely place!
You have really nice blog, liked it :)

Thank you, Marinela!
I am in Tiburon, that's why I thought I had a shot at making it up there last night. Doing a three-day workshop with Peter Levine on helping people heal/recover from near-death experiences/anesthesia. Heavy stuff but a lovely place to do it.
Tiburon: I just found it on the map. Never been out there, but it looks like an amazing spot. I hope the rest of your workshop goes well.
Fun fact: "Tiburon" mean shark in Spanish.
Wow. I wonder if there were ever sharks in the bay?
