I am prepping through out the day creating paper snowflakes to hang around the ship. There I feel like the world is filled with wonder and friends that do understand. A beautiful boat created by us here at DS . At first we started the cruises with DarkGypsy's glitter sub. It swung the oceans and the universe. Equipped well by Scotty with warp drive....and of course the magic...

Then Lily found a boat and of was instilled with magic that can create that peaceful place that we are told to find to promote relaxation and just to breath. If you want for anything or special comforts , you need only blink blink and Calypso provides it.

We play relax and share what makes us feel better...together.
There is also a van for on the road excursions The Violet Vanguard, parking is never a problem! And it is there with just a blink at our disposal, shopping the Magnificent mile or just a shoreline shell collecting day trip...use it as you wish.

...as many here know I have to do art.
I am surprised at the body of work that has come out of my time on Calypso, shared with you here, my friends.

hugs, read, play and enjoy our own place that we know.

Cool nights. That reminds me of one of the most comforting songs I ever heard. It's a song by John Prine. I got to see him sing it in concert once. It's called "Everything Is Cool." "I was walking down the road, man/Just looking at my shoes/When God sent me an angel/Just to chase away my blues...now everything is cool, everything's ok." Such a sweet song.

What a great start Muji, and I am listening to Adam Hurst, thinking how cool it would be to have him and Lindsey Stirling duo?
a new one I tripped across in the listening... The Dragonborn comes.

I suppose its lunchtime for most everyone, I am going to go grab one of the calorie free bagels with garlic and onion cream cheese spread. Yum

Lilly, when I had my first adult PTSD episode in college that lasted for months in 1978, it took me to a dark and desperate place. Luckily, Springsteen's record Darkness on the Edge of Town came out right then. He spoke of my darkness, and sang on it the song "The Promised Land" that gave me something to live for.

I read about how you and your dogs are holed up getting through some darkness, and it reminded me of a line from that song.

"The dogs on Main Street howl/Cause they understand/If I could take one moment into my hands/I believe in a promised land"


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8UjZczqJ7I

I'm praying for you that you and your dogs can hang in there. On the other side of this darkness you're going through, I believe in that promise for you, too.

Muj, thank you, i can feel your prayers and they help. thank you, thank you for the song : ) this is part of the deal, not the fun part, that's for sure, but i signed on for the whole ride. so i'll be holding on and hanging out, lots of hugging this hound and thanking God for him too, what a difference he makes. what a difference your friendship makes, and being able to be here, safe and sound on Calypso just letting the ship carry us so gently and know that it is all ok right now and we can rest in that knowing.

i believe in that promise too, on the other side of this present darkness. hugs, Hank hugs too X
