"Flash"
My fish had babies woo-hoo. I know what you're thinking Ziggy really needs to get a life- and yes it's true but on the other hand it is so cool to see little tiny babies just swimming on the bottom of their condo while dory (pictured on the left-mom) and nemo (dad) watch out carefully for their brood. If one of the little babies starts to flounder away mom or dad will gently scoop them up in their mouths and re-deposit them with their siblings. I wish my parents had been that good with me. Lately it feels like I am working on a lot of familiy of origin crap-like dosen't this shit ever go away- Being in recovery I suppose I am given plenty of opportunities to work on unwrapping the person typing before you're eyes. I sat and watched these precious little babies last night for a long time-seeing just how fragile their worlds are. Then looking at my life seeing the same thing-not so much as that my world is fragile but that my recovery is such a gift in navigating in this world. That at times yes my recovery is balanced precariously but as long as I continue to do the work stay connected to my creative source and continue to be the parents to myself that I never knew- then I too can continue to grow into a beautiful spirtual being having a human experience.

Hi Ziggy... Not sure if you remember me... said hello Saturday night.
I just have to comment on your blog. I saw the link on your Myspace (we are friends :).
I have to say that I am touched by your writings and photos (lived in White Center/West Seattle for 20 years). It is so easy to get lost in this world and only see light posts and cement. Even living here on Vashon I can become hardened at times(ex birder, nature walker here). Then I take a ferry ride (alot), go to the lighthouse or any of the beaches, but esp Fisher Pond, my place of peace. ANYWAY, just thought I would thisank you. Debbie
