Biarritz, France | Basque Identity Dominates

I was told from several people that Biarritz is worth visiting. The splendid first picture that popped up in google maps for Biarritz caused my jaw to drop. That was all I needed to convince me to make the trip, in the opposite direction of where I needed to be in a week. I strategized to use Jost Bordeaux hotel and hostel as a base and visit Biarritz (with my bicycle) 2 hours away by train. I…

How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell | Comfort with the Discomfort of Indecision

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist The subject of the universe conspiring to help a person aspire towards their intentions, has occurred for me over the last weeks. A month ago when I had the luxury of time to relax and contemplate my next moves, and whether to continue spiraling along the path of pet sitting…

Eureka in the Pyrénées with Fréderic & Chopin | Dog’s Tail ~ Extension of Heart

Recently I again spent a chunk of time google-mapping and investigating train travel between numerous locations and their alternatives. After staring at a screen and doing this tedious stuff, when I walked outside with the dog, an intuitive understanding swept up to realign my thinking. With specific deadlines already confirmed for a cat sit on the far eastern border of Switzerland in France, and…

Seahorses | Étang de Thau ~ Sète ~ Marseillan ~ Cap d'Agde | southern France by the Mediterranean

I came to the town of Marseillan in the south of France to care for two black male brother felines, Once in a while they bat at each other, but most of the time are cuddling and curled up sleeping with one another, Each purr machines and gentle, one more naughty. He had seemingly disappeared, until i spotted a lump under the covers; playing hide n seek. I had been familiar with the name Sète,…

Grenzbegriff blog ~ Holy Words of Truth

From the first time I read this blog of Phil’s years ago, http://www.grenzbegriff.com/, I had left the tab open for a very long time. I recently rediscovered it, and frankly, have done the same. I feel that his words are so powerful, because they so eloquently and incisively speak the truth. The message is a clearer, stronger and nearer the truth ~ holy ~ More so than anything I’ve read,…

The Chills and Thrills of Cold Water Night Swimming – Lake Geneva, Switzerland 2024

So, I happen to be in France, 100 meters from the border of Switzerland, on the outskirts of Geneva, I knew I’d be here around the holidays. I’ve mapped out several different routes to visit various animal parks and nature conservatories, all requiring negotiating the way in to the city around the airport. I googled at the last minute and found this “New Year’s Eve at the water’s edge, bringing…

Reverence for Nature > Let Indigenous people Guide

If this is in fact true, it is fantastic to hear! There is the concept of God, which is man made, like drilling for oil to fuel man’s cars and desire for immediate gratification….and then there are actual creatures, you know, elk, caribou, whales, frogs…which are living beings on this planet, whose homes are territories which humans continue to encroach upon and destroy. The earth is a sacred,…

New York Times article Normalizing Gun Violence

Deadly Louisiana Shooting Caps a Holiday Weekend of Violence I was reading about the shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana after there had already been (within 48 hours or so) a mass shooting in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and then in Shreveport, “The shooting, which left four dead and seven wounded, was one of several in multiple cities since Friday.” Never was it so viscerally clear and…

Profound words ~ Love & Sorrow for the Natural World We Are Killing

To me, this is profound. Friday, November 29, 2019 Thanksgiving This is a letter of reflection on living with the land that I wrote in November 2019 which was read at First Mennonite Church of San Francisco. I read it through http://www.grenzbegriff.com/ “This land lived with the Cahto people for I don’t know how many thousands of years. And while this forest is thoroughly beautiful, I…
