Little Bras D’or

burn, zealous
sun
edge to edge
…horizon’s view
misty vapours
slip
along

The Bras d'Or Lakes on Cape Breton Island, a large part of Nova Scotia, is a boater's paradise. Folks from all over arrive here, for the scenery and privacy, and protective land mass, and especially enjoyable for sailboating. RLP

I think that's rather beautiful. Thanks for sharing the vision of it. Living is all about representation and perception, in my experience. I choose to represent living as an ongoing process...the word living continues, whereas the word life is teleological, static. This is how I interpreted the misty vapours, that slip along. There is movement. I can see the play of light upon the water. I think that this process is rather beautiful too, a movement of ideas and imagery, our fundamnental language, across the ocean. Words are amazing things, and we are amazing creatures! Thanks Richard!
