To Live in An Old Shack By The Sea...

 " To live in an old shack by the sea

(and breath the sweet salt air)

To live with the dawn and the dusk

The new moon and the full moon

The tides the wind and the rain...

To surf and comb the beach

And gather sea shells and driftwood

 And know the thrill of loneliness

And lose all sense of time

And be free

To hike over the island to the village

And visit the marketplace

And enjoy the music and the food and the people

And do a little trading

And see the great ships come and go

And, man, have me a ball

And in the evening

(when the sky is on fire)

Heaven and Earth become my great open cathedral

Where all men are brothers

Where all things are bound by law

And crowned with love

Poor, alone and happy

I walk by the surf and make a fire on the beach

And as darkness covers the face of the deep

Lie down in the wild grass

And dream the dream that dreamers dream

I am the wind, the sea, the evening star

I am everyone, anyone and no one"

     Friends it is Friday- the long Canada Day weekend in our great country- we are headed into nature to find some quiet and calm- to gather ourselves close and just let go for a few days. I read the above quote over on A Well Travelled Woman- it really resonated with me- I could feel the peace and love creeping between the words- this is my wish for you on this weekend- peace.
