Quote of the day: “Beware of any choice you might make that is predicated on escape: from pain, embarrassment, responsibility, overwhelm, whatever. There is no escape. At best, you’ll experience a temporary (false) respite & whatever it was that was under your skin will be back – bigger and badder. It’s better to face it now. It’s called growing up. Do this for yourself, but it’ll also benefit everyone around you in the long run.” — Kevin Quigley

Actually (as you probably know, id), either interpretation would be correct.

Something I think we ALL need to be reminded of once in a while. And I don’t mean it in the stodgy old no-one-wants-to-be-a-grownup way either!

Nice. We don’t have mountains on Abaco. Barely a hill there!
I love coconut trees too, and their life-giving coconuts!

Yes! The one I planted on Jost with my ex-flame is thriving. I feel like such a life-giver myself!

I hope we can make that happen soon, Delana. I love that plant. I hope you can keep it alive for me until we get together.

Love your photos and quotes – you’ve been so many places that I can only dream about! I’m also curious about playing in the time/reality continuum. Do you have any photos from that trip?

Suprisingly few from that trip. I was kind of dwelling in another realm most of the time. But I do have a couple that I’ll try to share this weekend.

Interesting quote – so that’s why I never seem to escape feeling overwhelmed… But rock concerts are great escapes!
