dandelion cottage

behold! the pacific ocean..
it is such a dramatic change
from the sound..
we are talking waves!
the weather has been wild..
hailstones, rainbows..sleet..
rain and more rain..wind..
comfy to be in a house for a few..
cooking my own meals..imagine that!
a fire in the hearth, tulips on the table..
a valued interlude
before the shoes find shoulder!

right smack dab on the beach..
i walked the sand to the library.
moe had called me as she left towne..
"there is a library for your blog!"
she is on to everything!

the librarian, linda w. drove up
in the original flower powered
peace mobile!
covered with peace signs and posies,
the auto is a cosmic grace to the roadways!

linda jumped right in to locate a spot for me..
she found a bed in lincoln city at the mayors!
she lined up an interview with the tillamook news..
she offered me a ride down the coast to lincoln city..
she introduced me to cathey and charles busch,
who founded peace village..
she stands alone on the corner in tillamook..
'another grandmother for peace"
she started the art literacy program
which i had the good fortune to assist with..
labeling and matting children's art for the next show..

there was a serendipity to our meeting..
i was down the road into the unknown..
letting go into the mystery..
when the mystery unveiled herself..
as linda!

i gave her the love bead that jorja offered;
the mayor received the dream catcher!
lori h., the mayor,
in turn..gave me a jar of homemade mustard..
which will find a home soon!

linda also told me
of a dandy little cafe in garibaldi
where i stopped after the morning walk..
penni c. and i immediately had
much to say to one another..
i waited out the opening of the library
with lunch and tea..
penni kindly fed me that day..
curried cream cheese and cranberry sandwich!
her concoction!

the peace clings are finding
their way along the coastline!
