almost home

sorry for being so late in posting to flickr and my blog

i am 3 days behind 

i took this on saturday as we were flying over the island

i got some amazing aerial shots because,

for some reason, 

the pilot circled the island several times before landing

 when i asked why we weren't landing,
bob the rascal,
said
maybe the wheels of the plane can't come down to land
not funny bob!!!!!

anyways i was happy to get this wonderful shot
of the west bay,  and west end

you can see half moon bay at the bottom

left

at this point in our journey

my heart was soaring for joy

h.o.m.e.

yes that is true

we don't see ourselves leaving any time soon

 unless the Lord takes us somewhere else

(which could very well happen)

but while in Canada i realized that

i am not made for north american living 

anymore

i have grown to love a slower pace

i don't enjoy consuming 

whether that be shopping or

eating enormous amounts of fast food

i don't enjoy traffic

i don't enjoy being busy

 or rushing around getting 'things' done

i am made for island life

the pace

the peace

the people

the pleasure of eating simply,

talking to my bird,

feeding the hummers

have a cold drink with friends by the sea

letting the cool sea cleanse my soul

yeah

almost home
