Just a Hopeful Sign

overflow

My friend Vickie Gill pointed this out to me while we were walking in her neighborhood the other day: it's overflow parking for a nearby church.

As far as anyone knows, church attendance here has never swelled to the point where parking was an issue.

But this is a congregation with aspirations. The lot is always empty, but quite large.

Looking out towards Gaviota Peak the fog considers a comeback best kind of welcome Ranch roads on this late summer morning... red vein veterinary lesson Well, THIS was unexpected. And this is how we are getting to know the infinitely fascinating and oh-so-faraway Felix...sigh. When a friend calls to me from the road 
And slows his horse to a meaning walk, 
I don't stand still and look around 
On all the hills I haven't hoed, 
And shout from where I am, What is it? 
No, not as there is a time to talk. 
I thrust my hoe in th In a dark time the eye begins to see (Roethke) a walk adorned by swirls of fog The shy return of clouds.
