Do you ever feel like a windvane,
running in vain, going nowhere,
waiting for a gust to change your direction?

Or do you feel like you sit still all day?

Sitting surrounded by infinite grains of sand
casting long shadows with that slight slant of sun.

What will make you stand up and take a first step?

And keep going, as awkward as it feels.

Even if you have to drag that damn poser post behind you for now…

Take an even bigger step, even if you feel off balance.

You might need to ask for help before the tide gets any higher.
Those willing to help will appear.

Which is great cuz then
you’ll have someone to dance with.
It’s your Liberated Soul Swing!

Greetings, viewers (said in a whisper). Thanks for tuning in to our show.
Follow me and my camera crew as we enter this old log.
Do you see that mist? Legend has it that the older driftwood caves
It’s getting colder as we go deeper. Do you hear the crab’s melodic whistle?
We have to squeeze sideways through this cave to get into the next room.
Quiet now. We’re almost there.
We found one!
There you have it, folks! We have to cut to commercial now,
It was a rainy Sunday in Seattle, and Emotikin needed to get out of the house!
“Whoa!” said the dog (fresh from his grooming appointment next door).
“Can I smell that maple creature?”

So the duck and Emotikin continued their walk in West Seattle,
Stopped to talk with a worm who didn’t say much.
Emotikin couldn’t help but start humming that song made
“…you make Seattle so much fun,


P.S. I marvel that today’s high tide is so calm and wonder at the metaphor.

happy water dog!
