living the simple life----well,-trying to!

Last night a lovely western sky,Selmun Palace silhouetted in the distance,

and the promise that tomorrow will be a lovely Spring day.

So it is!--- Off  we go for our morning walk,all is still  dark;

Marius' cockerel is waking us really early now

so -why linger?

At the studio the  Palazzo Gates  stand majestic in  the moonlight  ,

the old, old palms are shrouded in darkness and  mystery.

Still dark on our return; and as we approach the flat

the sea by our side,  looming  out of the darkness-

the watchtower,-still, silent, old,playing on the senses with its

past life, -gently stirring the emotions.

                                                                   
                                       Once inside, enjoying breakfast,  the cockerel is still crowing
                                                          and daylight creeps  upon us quietly.

                                        Soon it has arrived, the day is with us, and outside, down below
                                         there is Cikko already out in his little boat, his net poised to
                                                                  catch the octopus.

                                            A simple start to the day,-but I'm growing to be thankful
                                                  more and more for these simple things, the things,
                                                          that are always there;
                                                  the things that in their essence offer true beauty,
                                           peace and joy,----the things that for me give life meaning.
