…another day at the beach.
I’ve always loved the beach. I can relate to the ocean - we have similar personalities, I think. Sometimes I’m dark and brooding, others I’m cool and friendly….but, always ever-changing and…moody.
So, when I spend time at the ocean, I feel like I become more in touch with myself…more centered somehow.
I can go awhile without being near water, but not for very long…I need it.
It’s hard to be so still and quiet, though. In the busyness of every day life, I forget how to just sit and be…
I guess that’s why I like to sit near the ocean…because it’s never still - it never stops churning and changing, so I can be still next to it without having to feel stagnant. There’s nothing boring about the sea…
…it moves me - even when I’m sitting still.
It’s paradoxical for me…like thunder. It’s so full of movement and change - noise and power…and yet it calms me somehow.
I guess it reminds me that there are bigger things than my little world…my stresses. Sometimes it helps to feel small next to something so much grander than I am.
So, Happy Wednesday….
Peace to you.
As the sun began to fade and the moon rose, we wrapped up a busy Sunday with a walk on the beach…
Tonight, I’m sitting out on the porch listening to the tree frogs and crickets in the surrounding dunes. I can see the lighthouse in the distance…and there are occasional flashes of lightning across the sky.
So now, I’m just waiting for some thunder to come and lull me to sleep…
waiting on thunder...
peace to you all…
…i’ll write, i promise…tomorrow. this morning was nice…the music sets were especially moving to me for some reason.
we’re at the beach now. of course, i came in and went straight to bed…at 4:00! then, we went grocery shopping and bought lots of healthy food…nothing fun at all. the sunset was gorgeous…i’ll post pics as soon as i can.
anyway…tomorrow - i promise.
tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow…creeps in it’s petty pace…
okay, no more shakespeare - i promise…
peace to you.
…this week has been strange. it seems like it has lasted for an eternity, but i’ve gotten nothing done. how does time creep by, then at the end of the week i feel like i need more time?
but now it’s friday, and it’s pretty much over…all that’s left is to get ready for sunday. oh yeah, and to do 42 more loads of laundry…
the sky last night was gorgeous…i love it when it gets all pink, and lavender and vanilla. a lavender/vanilla sky…wow! that sounds lovely! i was so distracted by how beautiful the sky was last night, it was ridiculous…we were on a walk and i just kept saying, “look at the sky!” - and byron would say, “i know, it’s beautiful” - and i’d say, “but, did you really LOOK at it…look at it again!” (seriously, i’m a little controlling when it comes to things i find really beautiful).
seeing a sky like that just speaks to me…it heals me somehow.
and now it’s thundering outside…so, i’m set. that’s the makings of a perfect night for me: a lavender/vanilla sky and a thunderstorm…wow! that’s perfection!!
good thing we’re in hurricane season…i should get lots of “perfect” nights over the next couple of months! 
okay, so now it’s friday - and i really don’t have time to blog. my sister and her family and my parents are coming over soon for dinner…good thing they already know me, so they’re not expecting everything to be…well, on time or organized - but, we’ll have fun anyway.
so i better go…
peace out.
