These guys are pretty set in their ways.
Theyve got their watch spots.
They walk and squawk and fly.
Up and down
And all around
rough diamonds
sparkling
in the blue
Shadowboxing in Essaouira
Life is Art
A cliche, but a good one.
Slow it down.
Awareness of breathing.
Eat more mindfully.
And so on.
Good morning.
Its 9am and a chilly 10c
Rising to a very pleasant 21c
The wind has passed through
And the sky is blue
Poets of the sky awaken!
Bisara and the Birds
Its just a perfect day, I want to share it with you.
It keeps me hanging on,
oh it keeps me hanging on.
Good Morning , on this a gloriously cool and clear morning, to all you fine folk out there.
My Marie will have arrived by now on her metal wings from afar.
So a big welcome to my co pilot.
The birds
Its always the birds
Dancing and
swaying
Floating and
soaring
Sitting.
Squaking
Always looking
watching
waiting
They re poets
of the sky
The sun rises at 8:34.
First lit is the Mosque.
Much like the Buddhist temples.
The community awakens slowly.
The bakeries and Bisara soup
An essential marriage
I have my coffee and peer through the kitchen window, then the bathroom window, and my bedroom window.
Its nearing 10 and there is a steady passage of customers for Bisara.
The bread is fresh.
I sprinkle cumin poowder on the soup.
Followed by a dash of chilli powder.
And then stir.
I eat slowly.
More people come in.
Washing their hands at the small sink by the door.
Wood chips cover the floor.
Eventually I finish, stand up
Squeezed between the herd of men
I wait to pay my 5 Dirham.
Just now and Zen, my walk begins.
Good morning to you all. I am really enjoying being well again, and meeting my mind with the colors and light of the outside world and a cup of coffee.
Off now for my breakfast of Bisara soup and bread, and a wondering wander in the neighborhood.
Morning from the depth of my bathroom.
Some easy photography as Marie and I call it.
I can feel my strength returning.
The seagulls have been the main focus.
On this the morning of the 22nd January in the new year of 2025,
we have beautiful blue skies
Its not so gusty today.
Temperature peeking at about 22c
These guys are always patrolling.
Theyre like my own private secret service, working in pairs.
