our first date

passé kamouraska le ciel devient IMMENSE! on s'approche de...rimouski.

rimouski & me.
notre premier vrai rendez-vous, avec tous les ingrédients d'une first date.
excitation, clarté, joie, soulagement, ébranlement, reality check! doute panique awkward vulnérable. l'appel exigeant à s'ouvrir, à sortir de son cocon.




wonderings about where it will go...
surrenderings to what is there and not there
yet

knowing there's no way
it can be forced
faked
avoided



herons walk gracefully at low tide
hardly stirring the squishy lively waters

full of salty gritty seaweed life
full of nourishment & possibilities...



***

are you of the Old?

moving.
fermer la shop. chaque objet cossin bébelle papier photo passe le test. quasi-austère. libérateur.

are you of the Old? are you of the New?
vecchio o nuovo? non può essere tutti i due.

la joie tranche rapidement. she is the operating modality.
quelques hésitations,  f?*% it! et soupirs aussi.

overwhelmed&humbled.
bhakti soup.
