El Camino de la Costa is a wonderful journey. I hope you enjoy it. I recommend making sure you stop in Viana do Castelo and see Santuário de Santa Luzia. The view is just amazing there.

They mistook us as deliverers, but we are heralds of new life. Witnesses to the most extreme and meaningful pain that ends in joy so deep, the moment is burned into the mother. We chase the sun and follow the moon to tell all, the air is shared with another bright soul.

And while I hate using Wikipedia as a source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amour_d....

It doesn't seem that amour de soi implies a selfish, greedy love.

I am happy to have another source that explains it differently.

Just FYI, the account Pixie is an AI. Not a person. The person controlling that account appears to be a real treat. I simply thought they didn't understand how the vss365 hashtag works. Apparently they just don't care.

Wish my camera could have done justice to the sky. But this is a taste.

she is waiting for a train
she sits alone
red sunhat
shading her face

she swings her legs out
throws her arms
eyes squint
in stretching

she watches a magpie
take flight
her arms feel
light

she looks
down the track
gazing
to a farther horizon

she is waiting for a train
