on my way to melbourne
but the plane had already left before i got there
here
so i had a day to pass in an hotel
with a courtyard
so after a long sleep,
a late breakfast,
i spent a couple of hours
in the courtyard.
strange seed pods in the trees
and this delightful fountain
all a facade, but i really enjoyed it.
these are from the book i'm relishing
a different kind of luxury
japanese lessons in simple living and inner abundance
by andy couturier
that jean blogged about.
a fine book.
so that's what you are doing in L.A. - sitting in the sun blogging. really happy you are enjoying the book. sending you good thoughts.
ReplyDeletejean, waiting for the scouts from warner brothers to discover me...
ReplyDeletetha book is so lovely, he keeps coming back from almost gushing. i like that.
AGH. getting stuck midway is a pain. but in some ways, maybe it's good to have a bit of a break b/c it's such a long journey!! thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteaimee, it's been just fine. and i found out that i have a day of grace!
ReplyDeleteI hope your arms don't get too tired on the big flight over the very big pond....
ReplyDeleteronnie, i had a day's grace and my muscles are ready! i did loose a few feathers in the storms in calgary--
ReplyDeleteI saw the palm trees and thought - that's not very Melbourne! Hope the stay refreshed you before you began the next leg...be warned it's winter here!
