A fine place to meditate!
 
I have been blessed in this life to find a number of "Fine places to meditate".  Just a shame I never took advantage of most of them.  It seems to me that fog helps me find those places.  Water is just as much of a lure as well.  Put both of those natural events together and I guess I'm in Nirvana.


It is supposedly going to rain today here in the paradise south of the sun.  Not yet---and I was going to use that as an excuse not to take a walk.  Of course that would mean you would have to put up with all my crass commercialism on the blog, Face Book, Twitter and/or Fine Art America.  But i guess that's the price of fame. 

Listening to a DVD by Jimmy Buffet, a childhood idol of mine.  If I had had different circumstances, lots of money, was able to play a guitar and sing....there but for the grace of God go I.  I mean...who else could get away with publishing such songs as "We are the people our parents warned us about" or "Why don't we get drunk and screw"!  Or the old standards like "Margaritaville" and "Cheeseburger in Paradise"  True classics.  Reminds me of another place of contemplation.  A beach side palm in Buffetville!

 
Stately old oak trees either in St. Augustine, Florida or Charleston, South Carolina make great places to give thought to things greater than ourselves.  Just amazing the things around us that don't cost a dime, yet are building blocks for the soul!


 
Flat water and a canoe equals closer my God to Thee!  Or just flat water!
 
 
I guess it's more about quiet places alone with the crazy things that rattle around between the ears.  Some parts of nature I like to call "The big Woods" can prompt the same emotions.  Just a note, if you double click on the highlighted words you can find some more stuff.  Click on the photos for a better resolution.  There is still time to ship before Christmas up to the 12th without doing overnights.
 
Still not raining and the "Coconut Telegraph" is ringing, so I'm going to go find that Cheeseburger!

  1. I prefer running water, as in woodland streams. Ordered one of yours in "the Big Woods" group. Thanks for the inspiration.
