Taking Time

Hangovers are great for one thing only – inducing a slow day. Foggy head means moving carefully. Considering each step. Sitting in one spot for awhile. Being aware. Forcing yourself to be okay to just sit and stare at an aquamarine sea and distant islands.

Taking time out to stop and listen to music and do nothing but stare at the ocean.
Sometimes when traveling its easy to forget to do this. And how great it is. One gets caught up in moving, seeing, meeting, doing.

Doing nothing at all – save for the occasional float in the warm water. Feeling the light rain. Watching the snorkelers kicking around, facing downward endlessly. Feeling the powdery sand caking your feet.

Here’s where my hangover took me.
Here is where I sat and stared and did nothing at all. “Destroyer’s Rubies” on the headphones.

well some situations
seek redressing
some songs just
go testing, testing,
i took a picture
i was sick of motion

and wore her watercolours into the ocean
and wore her watercolours into the ocean

– Destoyer “Watercolors into the ocean”
