The long drive with sleeping children (though hard to call them 'children' at this point) was really nice in some ways. People must have been sleeping in from fireworks the night before... little traffic on the road. The 'poetry' show itself was well... more like a rap concert, hah. Sigh.

A bit of 'aimless wandering' between 'things to do' brought us to sit near the river to watch a happy pod of dolphins with a calf for a long while... a real treat, quite unexpected. Driving shortly again... nice time for mental mantras. edited 11:05, 6 Jul 2012

Safe drive home Eliza. This morning while grocery shopping I overheard a young woman say to the man with her 'Well the way I see it...' It's a pretty common expression I guess but, on the other hand, what a deep koan-like thing to say, I thought. It seems to admit the situation is not solid but changing, there is no 'right' way to see things, that others views have to be recognized too and she is prepared to change her mind on the subject if the person with her advances a different viewpoint.
