Sitting, sometimes thinking of a place.... Today I felt a part of the Ocean Waves. I can feel myself on the edge..a beautiful view..Im going to swim, and swim, and get to where I want to be. Im rolling on my raft of life, gently, back and forth. My hands reach down into the cool water, I begin to paddle. Further and further I go, Im making strides and here it comes...The wave, it tosses me around, I lose sight of my horizon..my eyes stinging from the salt water or maybe of my own tears. Ive been washed back to shore to start all over. I never leave my raft of life, Im part of this ocean. I must paddle harder, I must break through the waves, never losing sight of my horizen. Today the ocean and I are one. |

Oh, was that you I saw out there, was I was paddling so hard and going in circles? Lovely words, Deb, and a true feeling. S "If a man moves you to feel like a woman, the least you can do is let him." Merrit Malloy |
