The sea

  The sea came inside meAs I swamI felt its cold fingersCaress my fleshy wallsCooling my inner fireResting on rising wavesI stared at the skyI became one with the waterMerged with itAs it buoyed and mingled with me.It touched me deeplyI thought then of all the timesI had been entered andIt had meant nothing to meApart in every moleculeExcept the physicalDispassionate and not embracingThe existence that is mine

Wow wonderful Liz

I felt myself floating in the sea looking up at the sky and just thinking of all the beauty that surrounds us, if we look for it; especially in our beautiful Scottish islands. Xena Quote: Science is what you know; philosophy is what you don't know. - Bertrand Russell

Hi Rosina

Thanks for the visit, you can imagine the cold of the sea here also but then that wild beauty is what makes Scotland such a wonderful and invigorating place...to skinny dip anyway ...lots of laughs Seabhac

Funny to me

This is funny to me because this is the way I feel sometimes about all kind of things. what I mean is sometimes something just comes over me and I have a wierd, very cool feeling. something about the moment and times moves over me and it is a wonderful feeling. great write and read You can never pick anyone up if you are busy putting them down

you express me as I cannot,

Ann of Norway Oh ocean inside you, you express me as I cannot, you are the essence on which I float to see the world, its part to partake of, swayed, and part of me swathed as is the weed beneath the surface stretched and flowing this way that with tides of its expressions, life. Lovely thoughts here Seabhac, dear you I see what you are saying, love from Ann.

Dearest Jaycee

Missing you guys lots too. Summer here and I travel a lot with the yurts and my work is full on leaving little catch up time. I manage to sneak a little visit everynow and then as guide but I am not managing to read my friends work and I am missing that as the work of friends really read like a window on their lives. I guess I have a lot of open windows just now. I do hope to get the time to indulge soon...will take some time out after teaching summer school next week. Big hugs and cold waves from Scottish shores to you. Hope you are keeping well Seabhac
