Climbing over rounded weathered rocks and piles of surf swept driftwood, my eyes looking out to sea, I find the essence that is me that I lose while in the heart of the city. The smell of salt air in my nostrils awakens the heart of artist and dreamer as it quiets the city screamer whose eyes sting from the exhaust of too many wheels on the road. Stroll with me for a moment on near-pristine sandy beaches, 'neath towering trees filled with birds instead of under poles with zinging wires and inhaling fumes that make one gasp for a breath of fresh air. In my hand rests a precious seashell. I wander about it's life journey. The gnarly piece of drifwood nestled safely in my backpack awaits its turn to become part of a kinetic sculpture. I give these treasures of the land and the sea movement once again, that they may move with the breeze and delight the eyes of someone far away. I pray that I may be gifted with the chance to share this moment in time and reveal to all your senses the true beauty and power of nature. namaste...peace...harmony...love |

Kasy, I am considering dropping everything and heading for the coast! While I can't really do that, I can feel and taste and smell and see what awaits me when I finally get my chance. Beautifully done! Melissa |

Ya know everytime I pick up a piece of driftwood now, I'm going to wonder if it was once in your backpack... |

I can relate to the fresh air -- not much beats the Monterey Peninsula for that... Have a wholesome vacation, Kacy. Even when you're away, your really not -- that makes me smile. -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

Ah this is truly the sea I know and love, and I do believe your prayer will have been answered. Peace to you as well. Nice work. |
