The Sea, the Mountains, and me

"With warm feelings...Companionship... Gratitude, I return my gift from the sea"....Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Is there anything more lovely than to sit on the beach, listening, at sunset, to the ocean,? Hearing the waves rolling in, rushing out? To walk in the dusk, feeling sand beneath ones feet, the water wrapping itself around your ankles?

The seagulls! Listening to them above me, in flight, in freedom. The freedom I can only imagine. I look about. I see the mountains. Majestic, silent, strong. I sit in the sand, I look at the sunset, I breathe the ocean air...Ah...Nothing like it. I lie down. I feel the waves around me, I see the mountains raising up to the heavens, I feel the sand and shells beneath by body.....

And wish...I wish that this was real, not mere dreams of where I used to live. I wish I could return, if only for a brief time, to this place I called home....To BE.
