island zen

today is the last of the island days. our flight home leaves this evening.

"i would like to take a piece of the island with me," i said on the bay walk. but how to do this? that's the question. carrying shells back home probably is the physical symbol for trying to hold on to the island rhythem and structure. 

in addition to the question, my horoscope noted, or rather warned:
"A frantic pace - valid for the next days: The tempo of events in your environment is likely to be too fast, and it will be difficult to avoid getting caught up in it. Nevertheless you should try sometimes to disconnect yourself from this frantic pace, because it may get to the point that you are continually distracted and unable to think properly."

which brought me back to a note and a link from last month. April 5th, this was, exactly a month ago, at home, the same question:

and like picking up shells, i am taking photos, to carry home.
four more hours. time to start packing things and thoughts.
