Since moving to the south and so near the ocean, I have decided it is time for me to learn how to sail…. not solo mind you… I will never be that “sure-footed” but to learn the important things of how to stay upright on the seas and how to be part of the crew.
Oceans bring out such contentment in me, having been through many rough seas of my own…..and the rock and roll of the waves and the crashing surf seem to pull it all together for me. It’s difficult to explain!!!
So I will soon be off to sail the seas…. LOL…. maybe around an island or two…. and will be filled up with such joy and new awareness… ahhh … I think it is possible to be seduced by this pleasure.
I have many “ship parts” that I have captured recently both on my trip abroad and at Marco Island that I will post from time to time….
I hope you will come sail with me….. for it is the freedom of the wind that sets us free …. and the motion of the waves that soothes the spirit and finding comfort on the calm seas is as a whisper from God.
Much love,

The art of collecting the interesting and intriguing things of this world and bringing excitement of the possibility of “freezing” that moment in time are the reasons that my eyes have broadened to look under and over and in between the winds of the nights and the lights of the days…… Come walk beside me and we can be the “sunshine” for this season in time……….. just walk beside me…………..

Great shot, Brenda. I like bigger boats because I’m not too sure-footed, especially since I shattered my femur in 2006 and now have a lot of metal in my leg. So be careful and enjoy your sailing! Hold on!
lol…. I had a nice long walk on a pier today and got dizzy just looking in the water…. lol…..well, it was in the 100’s and I hadn’t eaten… lol
Just teasing…. I thank you for your comment…. and I know I will enjoy the “holding on” part!!!!
