Sometimes, amidst the cruelly and suffering, a dose of hope and kindness is all it takes to remind us that our world isn't inherently negative and that people sometimes operate at their very best.
So, take a break with me this evening and explore simple beauties, of both man and nature, as a reminder to ourselves to simply keep looking for the brighter things, the lighter things in life.
Hop on the Peace Train and ride it over the fold...
.
Keep to the rhythm of the bells and the waves. If anxious it will relax you and maybe help you sleep
You wake up drifting, your cool blanket the sky of stars so deep it becomes intoxication. The Milky Way is your guide tonight. Watch and sleep and then awake knowing
As the sun rose you found the rock. Just shallow enough to step out you notice the life around you
.
Moon jellies are everywhere. You spend some time mesmerized by their movement and beauty
The subtle tides around the rock make free-form functional for this docile preditor.
Stepping off the boat your old friends bladderwort are everywhere to greet you with slick pops of joy. Twist a few and feel the cool thick aloe-like fluid running in your hands and wrists.
moving up the shore your feet hear the crunch of shells and glass.
The complex diversity of shape and form is always at play. Thees shores are different every day, with new surprises to be found and enjoyed.
You follow a sound to the water's edge, the gurgling and fffrosh of the slowly exiting tine lapping in an out among the cove.
Remnants of a past meal redden further in the sun. Life lost so others may be rich when this inevitable turn come they will serve another.
,
Then climbing up the sore toward bluffs over high tide lines of piled bladder word , the last soft pop of cove order
,
We enter the hard earth scented by bayberry and juniper. Different smells differently intoxicating
.'
A
We slowly come across a Red Wiged Black Bird in full protrctn of her breast, the begging of a truly magical day.
