I close my eyes. I hear the sound of the ocean. I am afraid to open my eyes for fear it is not real.

I take a peek and to my wonder the most beautiful body of water I have ever seen in my life.

I am sitting in a small beach chair in the water. The sun is hitting the ocean just right. It looks like sparkling diamonds as far as you can see.

The smell of salt is in the air and I take a deep breath trying so very hard to take everything in.

I have no worry here. No Pain. Not even a twitch.

The sound of the waves hitting on the rocks is music to my ears.

I am at peace here! I am in love here! I am free

I think Frank's a writer....or should be..

The best place to be is in my daydreams....and that could be anywhere and anything I choose.. ...Enter Twilight Zone music..

Right now it is sunny out but COLD...in the 60's and windy. YUK!!

Take me away:

I am imagining I am on a beach looking cool in my new bikini comparing modeling contracts and deciding who I will sign with and how on earth do I plan to keep my lottery winnings a secret?

Will someone please tell Brad Pitt and all those others I am busy and they can just leave a message and I will get back with them sometime.

I guess being famous for inventing a chewable pill that melts fat and builds muscle is just too much at times!! Pass the chocolates please.

Back to reality:

Time to clean the toilets!!

i liked beths vision of the sparkles of diamonds, have seen the water glisten like that before, its awesome and the waves hitting on the beach what a lullaby,

i am just someone who can express his romantic heart

To us Arizonans 60 degrees is cold!!

When we were living in the Midwest 60 degrees this time of year it was time to get out the Summer clothes!!

I'm on that river Greenjeans is sitting by, I paddle past in my newly repaired canoe and see Yabbit sitting on her swing in the distance and wave with a smile and line up to run the rapid...

I make it through the first drop. spray splashing my face and take a quick swipe at my eyes to see my line for the next drop... my bow drops into the rapid and disappears out of sight, but pops back up and rides the rooster tail wave at the end on perfect line...I eddy out at the bottom and hear the faint cheers from the crowd, bail out the boat and paddle on to the next one...

Another writer, but I knew that.

I'm sitting by a campfire, staring at the clear starry sky. The only things besides me and my hubby are the trees and the forest creatures. There is a slight breeze - just enough to cool one down on a summer's night.

ever go to sleep as a kid outside camping out in the wild country no city lights to disturb you, crickets singing with their feet, tree frogs singing so neat, wind slightly rustles the leaves like musical instruments play, as far as you can see darkness in the sky with hundreds no thousands millions billions stars stars on stars, stars nears stars you never saw back at home, so you set your hands behind your head, getting ready to start counting this is gonna take a while, where to begin orion, big bear, little dipper?, so many places finally you choose and begin counting and after restarting for the 5th time start to yawn and and snuggle a bit deeper into your sleeping bag, still stubbornly counting, till the next thing you know is a boot pokes you in the side and the brightest star is shinning in your eyes its morning, once again you were not able to count all the stars, maybe tonight....




thanks fin

Commonality! We love water, fires, animals....No room for any city in our imagination....

I see the spark of light and hear the clap of thunder as I lay in bed at the cabin. Rain pours down on the tin roof sounding like a stampead of wild horses. DH gets up to light a fire while I make hot chocolate with a touch of marshmallow. We pull out the cards and he lets me win for a change. A break in the clouds brings a ray of sunshine down in the forest beyond. I smell a wet woodsy smell and see the water dripping from the heavy branches....its a good day to take a nap....

Thanks for joining me RW.....
