  • Exit Sign Leads to Entrance Sign

    entrance-sign-with-treeI spent a couple of hours last night uploading my beach and  Butterfly World to a video format Please forgive me if this post is long. I sense I am in a culmination of a long process that will lay the groundwork for some of my future posts. So I hope it makes sense. If not I will try to clarify as time goes by. It has taken me seven years to understand intense inner processes only because I chose to find answers to all my inner questions about the meaning of life and death. I know I will never understand everything and the more I know and understand, the more questions I have and the less I really know.I am constantly humbled by the majesty of this greater force we call God.

    Anyway, I was taking some pictures on Monday as I headed out to pick up my son at school before I went to the beach. I had been taking pictures in sequence of part of a shopping center that had been knocked down in order to build a new structure. Then on the way home, I took pictures of the location where I had my car accident almost seven years ago. That exit on the highway also has been rebuilt. I see it every time I have carpool and take the kids to school. (more…)

  • Matheson Hammock Beach 2nd Day of Vacation

    matheson-hammockSince I am in this timeless mode, I woke up pretty late and had a slow start. I was reading in the paper that it was going to get chilly the next day. It was about 93 degrees and beautiful sunshine, so I figured I better go or else I might miss the opportunity. The problem was that I was already around 1:00PM and I had to get my son at the bus stop at 3:00PM. This would not have given me much time to relax at the beach. Here I was stressing and about to text my son to walk home.

    But instead I decided to wait, pick him up at school and take him back home. Good thing I did because he was very sore from working out and wasn’t feeling too good. By then it was past 3:00PM and I decided to go to Matheson Hammock which is in Coral Gables about 10 minutes away. It is a small beach that looks like a circular pool.  It is closed in by Coral Rock and the salt water comes in from Biscayne Bay.  Since it is shallow, it is a beach that many parents take small kids and babies. My parents took me here when I was a child. I lived very close to here . Too bad I don’t go so often because it is very lovely. I am going to make it a point that I come here to write and read this year. (more…)
