DREAMS
As I came to the crest of the hill I could smell the sea breeze and feel the wind in my hair. I couldn't see the ocean yet, but i knew I was getting close. The smell was one of life, the very water that runs in our blood, the very nature of life itself. I became excited at the thought of reaching the seashore and stepping into the water. I walked a bit faster and soon I could see the beach and the beautiful waves that were crashing near shore. Looking out over what seemed like an endless sea of water, I felt so small and realized we are but a speck on this planet, and nothing to the universe, yet our mind is so powerful. We feel much larger than we really are. I took off my shoes and walked in the sand to the edge of the ocean and stepped into the cool water. I finally made it, and for once I don't have to leave. I need many days here to think about who I am and what will I do next. I want to work near the sea, or on the sea, but become a part of what has hit me since I was a kid. Its time to find out. For now I will spend some time feeling the water go thru my toes, feel young again, before it is too late. The rest of my life will start right here. This is a new day, a new chapter and change is in the air. I am not interested in staying in one place, unless I so desire. I may find a piece of my journey here, maybe not, I don't care. Nothing has made total sense to me throughout my life. |
