The Beach Scene on Governors Island

2009-08-13T20:48:00.004-04:00

From a visit last weekend to my old stomping grounds. This Water Taxi Beach used to be the ferry terminal parking lot when I was a kid! Truth be told tho, it's nice to see a new life growing on this once abandoned military base. More than a little odd for those of us who called it home & have fond memories of times past... But that is the beauty of evolution!

Heal Me

2009-07-31T16:40:00.001-04:00

Ain't it crazy? For a moment there, this felt just like dying.
But now I see that something inside is coming alive.
Ain't it crazy?!
No use running from a revolution; I just surrender to this evolution.

Heal me, Lift me, Take me to the other side.
Amazing grace has touched my face and the sweet sound doesn't lie.

Ain't it crazy - For a moment there, I just gave up trying
But now I see you can let the light in, you can begin again - Now.
Ain't it crazy?
I lay me down in this sweet perfection; I am a witness to my
resurrection.

Heal me. Lift me. Take me to the waterside.
Drop me in - let me swim. Let everyone know - I'll be coming home again.

Make no mistake, I'm wide awake.
Yeah... Ain't it crazy?

Heal me. Lift me. Oh take me to the other side!
I'll take what I've earned, these lessons I've learned. I'm ready for the ride - Now.

Heal me. Lift me... Take me and my soul will fly!
My battered heart will make a new start. Let everyone know, I'll be coming home again.

Heal me - Lift me... Take me - take me to the waterside.
Drop me in; come on and watch me swim. Let everyone know I'll be coming home again.

Let everyone know - I'm coming home again.

"Heal Me"
~Melissa Etheridge~

Summer Hiatus?

2009-07-30T16:58:00.000-04:00

Many of you have noticed my most conspicuous absence since Memorial Day weekend...

I would love to say I've been enjoying a much desired get-away... Soaking up sunshine & mojitos on a tranquil, tech-free beach... But not so much.

In truth Serendipity hasn't been in hiding on a tropical isle, but rather has been surfing the chaotic waves of Life. Family & friends, work & play, births & rebirths, the dead & the dying... It has been a season of change & renewal, of extraordinary excitement & deep sorrow... a time of Discovery.

While thus far I have been lax in delivering postcards from this frontier, please know that the collection has been building...

100 Years of Groovy

2009-03-31T12:24:00.000-04:00

The Queensboro Bridge (aka The 59th Street Bridge) reached it's 100th
anniversary yesterday.

I have made no secret of my undying affection for this highly
travelled span between Queens & Manhattan. The following quote,
however, is far more eloquent in explaining the attraction & affection
I feel.
"The structure of the bridge itself is an intricate mass of
interlacing steelwork, seemingly incapable of architectural beauty
because of the strict requirement imposed by the structural conditions
in the design of compression and tension members. Yet, as we look upon
the bridge from varying points of view, there is a charm, a certain
gracefulness in the repetition of symmetrical parts. Wrought entirely
of structural steel, at many points small adornments add appreciably
to the delicacy of the structure." - Architecture and Builder (1909)
