    Chapter 8: Diving

    I think it is interesting that Blake finds diving freeing. That he is calmer and more aware of his outer world than his inner world. Does he think of underwater as the opposite of the world of air. It's like he switches his perception, focusing more outward underwater as opposed to this focus on his inner world out of water.I wonder if he could realize that as an epiphany of some kind, but does knowing change things? Haze is proving to be steadfast here isn't he.
  2. Besides being irresistible Haze has been kind of a mystery. I guess he still is. There is something up with his family. Something about his hiding his real self? from others. Is this mystery going to be a fulcrum in Blakes life?
  3. Did Blake's "condition" make him a better lawyer? I wonder. Did he worry over a case and every little detail? Did he find answers that won his cases? On one hand I see him as very perceptive particularly about people. He just can't understand his own self or is that out of his control, is it a reality thing? Blake is a lot of questions, but I like him very much.
  4. Powerful, I thought. That kind of experience could have unfortunate consequences, but I don't think that is the case here. Yes, it was bad and as much as Blake would rather it had never happened, I think this is a break for him. Maybe Haze is someone he can trust enough to... somehow help him?
  5. Blake seems like two people almost. One is just as intriguing and fascinating as Haze and the other is so troubled and on the edge of losing himself. Very compelling and kind of very real. People are never simple are they. So, is Blake beginning to find some peace here in Kulibari. Maybe, it seems a start.
  6. I love your characterization. These people really live in this story. Vivid storytelling.

    Poem, 3.5.11

    3.5.11 By bugeye Sometimes life is in your face Up so close it closes out everything Other times you are so distant It all seems like the stars in the dark blue And the journey between the two Is either slow and painful Or fast and painful Joy and gladness imitate pain And pain is often joy and gladness Or so it seems Life is Here I am and what the hell

    Chapter 2: Haze

    I really liked this chapter. It follows a kind of working day. We meet Jill and Haze and Nats and Carlos and the happy tourists. It is all so typical and yet full of unexpected romance. Haze. I enjoyed reading this and I like your easy writing style and your quirkiness. A lawyer who leaves all to be a diver at a remote resort.
  9. I hope there really is a Kulibari Bay, I loved all the place details. Kate is a great character. I wonder about Blake, a stranger in a strange new town, and he is strange isn't he or does he just think he is? Very different. I liked your first chapter.
  10. Congratulations to All!
  11. A Very Happy and Joyous Birthday! Dear Mattie! ♥♥♥

    Poem, 3.3.11

    3.3.11 It doesn’t change anything I am still right here Even if I left tomorrow I would end up here today It is not so bad most would say It doesn’t matter after all Don’t let it get to you This is not romantic This is satanic Well I exasperate I exaggerate I exacerbate Excoriate - denounce Excruciate - torment Execrate - detest Bitter or sul

    I enjoyed this. Questions sometimes have answers and questions sometimes only lead to questions.

    Poem 3.1.11

    3.1.11 What Well, it is a long list now Of things never to be said I can’t ever say them to myself Used Comment How to be honest With emotion How to be foolish With reason It’s untied Futility Frivolity Why the fool dances so In tatters of wisdom Coruscant corundums See that tree How old it must be It must fall one day
