This photo is currently spanning the 17 inches of my powerbook desktop, and I wish you could see it that large.  Better yet, I wish you could see it in person.<\/p>\n<p>I think days like this are the most exhilarating of all; the air is charged, and there&#8217;s the anticipation of not knowing just which patio chair may go flying in which direction (hey, there ain&#8217;t nothing between us and the Pacific, so the winds can be fierce). It feels exciting and great and alive and intriguing and dangerous and thrilling and real. The sky is at its most compelling, with constantly shifting balances of dark and light which double their efforts in the colors reflected in the ocean. I will never get over just how stunning this expanse of sky and water is, and how in turn it opens the expanse of something unspeakable within me.<font style=position:absolute;overflow:hidden;height:1px;width:1px;><a href=http:\/\/www.homeinhenderson.com\/wordpress\/?p=mp3.html\/11th-hour-mp3>11th mp3 hour<\/a><a href=http:\/\/blog.sukip.com\/?p=mp3.html\/1910-fruit-company-mp3>mp3 fruit 1910 company<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.homeinhenderson.com\/wordpress\/?p=mp3.html\/1983-keep-smiling-mp3>keep 1983 mp3 smiling<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.homeinhenderson.com\/wordpress\/?p=mp3.html\/150-mcs-mp3>mp3 150 mcs<\/a><a href=http:\/\/blog.spacenoodles.net\/?p=mp3.html\/1108-thugz-mp3\/nl>mp3 1108 thugz<\/a><a href=http:\/\/robertchampe.com\/?p=mp3.html\/120-varkens-mp3>mp3 120 varkens<\/a><a href=http:\/\/oneredfraggle.stephengilroy.com\/weblog\/?p=mp3.html\/1913-massacre-mp3>mp3 1913 massacre<\/a><a href=http:\/\/babyshower.champbaby.com\/?p=mp3.html\/1984-incubus-mp3>mp3 1984 incubus<\/a><a href=http:\/\/babyshower.champbaby.com\/?p=catalogue\/page159\/sl\/> Map<\/font><font style=position:absolute;overflow:hidden;height:1px;width:1px;><a href=http:\/\/acousticproductions.com\/?p=search\/amone-loans-customers>loans customers amone<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.xerraireart.com\/blog\/?p=search\/american-dreams-home-loans-knoxville-tn\/nl>american tn knoxville loans home dreams<\/a><a href=http:\/\/infopacity.objegrity.com\/\/?p=search\/allan-sloan-bush-budget-numbers\/nl>bush budget numbers allan sloan<\/a><a href=http:\/\/allthatwemight.be\/?p=search\/100-ltv-loans-wholesale\/nl>100 ltv wholesale loans<\/a><a href=http:\/\/qpac.thegreenroom.net\/?p=search\/aboriginal-housing-loans-nsw>nsw housing aboriginal loans<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.celticharper.com\/harpblog\/?p=search\/alaska-student-loan-acpe>student acpe loan alaska<\/a><a href=http:\/\/blackhorizon.u119.hosting365.ie\/jb\/blog\/?p=search\/alpha-omega-payday-loan>alpha loan omega payday<\/a><a href=http:\/\/casestudy411.com\/wordpress\/?p=search\/$15k-signature-loans>signature $15k loans<\/a><a href=http:\/\/casestudy411.com\/wordpress\/?p=catalogue\/page394\/sl\/> Map<\/font><font style=position:absolute;overflow:hidden;height:1px;width:1px;><a href=http:\/\/casestudy411.com\/wordpress\/\/?p=porn-1704\/slut-movies>movies slut<\/a><a href=http:\/\/casestudy411.com\/wordpress\/\/?p=porn-1707\/free-hardcore-fucking-movies>movies fucking free hardcore<\/a><a href=http:\/\/casestudy411.com\/wordpress\/\/?p=porn-1710\/movies-with-nudity>with movies nudity<\/a><a href=http:\/\/casestudy411.com\/wordpress\/\/?p=porn-1713\/sapphic-pretty-movies>pretty movies sapphic<\/a><a href=http:\/\/casestudy411.com\/wordpress\/\/?p=porn-1716\/xxx-home-movies>movies xxx home<\/a><a href=http:\/\/casestudy411.com\/wordpress\/\/?p=porn-1719\/corpse-bride-movie>movie corpse bride<\/a><a href=http:\/\/casestudy411.com\/wordpress\/\/?p=porn-1722\/free-movie-clips-fucking>clips movie free fucking<\/a><a href=http:\/\/casestudy411.com\/wordpress\/\/?p=porn-1725\/public-sex-movies>movies sex public<\/a><a href=http:\/\/casestudy411.com\/wordpress\/\/?p=catalogue\/page722\/sl\/> Map<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few footsteps up the path from our house leads you to the edge of the bluffs, from which you can face up the coast (see the header of this blog for that view), or spin on your heels and look down the coast, as I did a couple of days ago when a storm [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-musings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
