I am grateful to you and Pip for all the times you both so beautifully have described GB ....so that I became aware of its presence. <br />The whole feeling of time moving too quickly was a theme of sorts during my conversations with Martha while she was home this weekend. She is now back at her camp for the last 3 weeks and is dreading that it will be over too soon. It is THE sign of how meaningful it is to her. We've all been there..... <br /><br />There seems to be a direct correlation between the concept of time and an the depth of meaning it has for us isn't there? It teaches us that our biggest joys are often tied to our biggest griefs. We can't avoid it. All we can do is breathe and drink deeply as you recommend..... living it all. <br /><br />Martha asked me if I had a few short quotes she could take with her back to camp to share during their morning gatherings with the rest of the staff and the kids before the start of the day.... One of them that I wrote down was from Father O'Donahue..... and it fits here.... <br /><br />"When time is reduced to linear progress, it is emptied of presence." <br /><br />I will do my best to fill the depths of my goblet of time with as much of me as I can.... no linearity for this lassie! <br />omg! we're going to meet! :)awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-9193471672898729632009-08-03T08:05:42.477-03:002009-08-03T08:05:42.477-03:00it never disappoints when, as father O often used ...it never disappoints when, as father O often used to say, we dwell in possibility<br /><br />am sure it will be all you anticipate and more...

I think you would enjoy this festival. And I will most definatately think of you when I'm there.<br /><br />Jennifer...thank you. I was trying to make it three dimensional as a way to capture a dream that has flourished through words and descriptors to a point where it becomes tangibly real. I appreciate your feedback,<br /><br />Gautami.... I didn't know about that other site. I will check it out. thanks for the link.<br /><br />Deb...it is such a cool feeling to have one come to fruition. So many don't it seems. I don't know about anyone else, but I seem to have many many dreams I want to follow and more times than not they can't be fulfilled. I think the key is to have the focus brought on by verbalizing and describing it....by vocalizing why it is important etc propels you to a point where it eventually happens.<br /><br />layla...thank you. The sunflower photo I took last summer in my friend's garden. They are fully in bloom yet here...but soon. There were some at the market this past weekend, but i want to get more shots in gardens and not as cut flowers.... SO, hopefully there will be more to come.<br /><br />this particular photo seemed reverent to me.... I like the cross of the driftwood fencing.<br /><br />Dee...Dreams in our lives certainly help make the most ordinary day seem magically hopeful don't you think?<br /><br />Gypsy....I'm glad you like those two lines. I wrote them this morning. <br />I do feel this is meant to be.... and I don't even know why. I'm grateful I can go, and will savour it all. It will be interesting, intriguing and inspiring on many levels .... no doubt. ;)awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-68625692925811627212009-08-02T21:27:50.729-03:002009-08-02T21:27:50.729-03:00like a smile, soaked in tears of recognition.

Even this morning, i made a couple of changes.<br />When I heard the line from the U2 song, I felt like Bono managed to state how I have felt all along about making this particular dream/event happen for myself.
