Seascape Saturday

Today is my birthday and all I want is the sea. Aquarius all the way.

Healing Sea

The sea air heals me. When the sun and it touch my skin it creates a perfect temperature, peace, and sensation both within and outside of me so that the boundary between myself and nature is blurred. I am reawakened to the notion, the truth, that there is no separation. I am a part of [...]

It wasn't like a rain It was more like a sea I didn't ask for this pain It just came over me I love a storm But I don't love lightning All the waters coming up So fast, that's right. The National
