Only On Vashon

I'm sitting here. Yes...sitting again. I decided that was the best use of my time. Bowm bowm bowm...lipstick tourniquet again. I love local music. Then again, I love everything that is local. I love the rain; yes Seattle is Seattle is Seattle. I love Vashon and its large amount of hippy vibes, like the seventies gone modern. I love the beaches, always wet, and never warm reminiscent of light blue. I love the 100-year-old madronas that fall and lean resembling tired arms over the sand and waves. I love the smell of fallen leaves in the ravine, like thanksgiving turkey on a sandwich. I mean each and every piece of my home, my town; my place is handsome and motivating.
Where else would I be able to just sit at home by myself, make a cup of tea, and glance out at the drizzle falling while wrapped in fleece? Where else would I be able to explore seemingly ravenous gulleys overflowing with woodland treasure? I mean the things that I've come to realize and the things that I have stumbled upon inadvertently, are more remarkable and gorgeous than anything I have ever seen before.
Only on Vashon.

I like the flow you give your words and the interesting metaphores. On one level you describe in a lilting way the beauty of your home stomping ground yet underneath it all is a revelation of yourself.
You have to care about a place to be able to write like this and in the process the caring in you shines through. As we are caught up in a mad helter-skelter of plastic reindeer, tinseled graffti and overindulgence your little muse was enchanting. Thank you for sharing.

Oh jessie, I can't begin to descibe how happy I am that you've finally begun to love Vashon! I knew you'd break through! With a little editing, and some enters here and there, this could be a poem too. It's so poetic in itself. Might I sugest though, using some other phrase then "I mean" ? That's my only conductive cricism. I too love this piece... I love how well it describes here. .. oh what the hey.. +Fav

I wanna live in Vashon. This is very reminiscent of "Utopia" by Sir Thomas More. Only shorter ;) (Wink)

To think logically, God only exists within the context of Himself. If I don't believe in Him, He can not exist. Not because I have any sort of power over reality, but because objective truth ceases to be objective, once one person doubts it. That is th
