night life in corvallis

I know Spring has arrived once the squeaky bike chains start passing by while I am half asleep in the hammock.

These pictures are from a fun night of bike Polo in Corvallis, Oregon.

Ride on all you sweet bikers.

sounds

I love the feeling of crazy first-class music sliding down the canals of the ear to the brain. The voices of the instrument are sewn together like a beautiful quilt, creating one connected moving sound. The ability to produce this sound with other musicians fills my heart with peace and joy. The joy is passed around the room from guitar, to drums, to the violin, to the singers, and also to those who are listening with their eyes shut and toe tapping. This all brings a goofy smile to my face.

all that happens.

I feel that I am at a time in my life where things have come to a halt. Taking time off from school has opened my heavy eyes to what happens in the now and not the then (the ‘bright’ future). Everyday has multiple surprises that keep me guessing to what could emerge in my life next. Some days I wake up and go to work at nine and come home at six, other days I wake up whenever and crawl down stairs to create a masterpiece in the kitchen (a whopping pancake that most likely weighs a few pounds). I may wake up and end up at the coast surfing, or sleep in and lounge in our excessively comfortable living room with my roommates drinking far to much coffee, or I will spend a whole day working out side in the garden (the garden to be, since I am now just planting seeds). I really am enjoying having no plan, there are very little amounts of stress compared to when I was attending school (not to say a little stress is healthy). I say live life and live it well! It is true I will probably re-attend college sometime in my future, I just love and cherish the time I have to find out what I really want to do, there is no better time then now.

longing for sun

Every day the sun peeks its bright face from the clouds I find my self peeking out from my front door towards the direction of our beloved outdoor table with chairs. During summer my roommates and I would wake up early to make blackberry banana pancakes with fresh pressed coffee and sit at the table to enjoy the sunrise. Today I sat at the outdoor table and ate a wonderful lunch with Rory (one of many roommates). She too enjoyed our outside sun excursion (a nice break from the rain) her 1980's camera was in her hand capturing every beautiful moment the sun produced. What a wonderful day it turned out to be, I know it was because I am almost finished with a silly cold that was passing friend to friend like a hot potato.

A song

Find some time.

lately, I have been at the beach.
Every moment is amazing.

I have started to surf.
I am addicted.

Thank you Ron for visiting me in Corvallis you are lovely.
