coasting the coast

think of any word for wet..for rain..
for stormy moist..for misty wet
the watery coast line..
frothy graybeards!
stunning waves of grace..
silvery canopy skyward,
soggy splash landing..
lagoons of puddle..
drippy, foglets..

i was more than ecstatic
to meet linda and ride south
to lincoln city!
we did stop in tillamook
for the newspaper interview..
i am way out of my zone;
blathering blonde-like
about peace, simplicity and equality!

"...asking to be changed in
ways you cannot imagine.."

we handpicked some daffodils for
lori, the mayor of lincoln..
she's green!
a masseuse in her real life,
she is married to a chiropractor..
has 3 grown children, 3 cats..
she is younger than i am and busy!

we had a delicious dinner..
i got to make the salad..
her husband, rob gave me an adjustment..
that wobbly SI joint..
along with some homeopathic trauma juice..

still raining in the early morning,
i was driven to newport by doug,
a lawyer who shared the beauties
of the coastline with me..
near the devil's punchbowl..
a savory brunch in hand from lori,
i head south.

pedestrians allowed across
the newport bridge!!
user friendly..
a striking span across the yaquina river.

i hop the community bus to yachats..
chatting with the driver..
inconceivable..
she has lived in anacortes!
moved here a few years ago..
a once upon a time neighbor
of ms. julie g!
the dear friend who is handling
the mail..
denise says she'll put the sticker on her bus..

i am resting for a night
in an elegant beach house..
joa's in-laws..
jane and paul..
have entrusted me with their
home away from home..

the sun is shining..
the blog is logged..
wending my way..
striding for the peace of it!
