i look at this photo all the time, and i am drawn to what lies beyond the rise. as i look i see myself walking down the path of the picture, and i know exactly what i will find when i pass out of sight, a vast and tumultuous ocean, a northern sea, with white caps and translucent color that makes me stare at the beauty of it. i look to my left, and then to my right, and it is the same but different. sand shapes ever changing with the tide and the wind. i close my eyes and i hear what i cannot see, and it makes a loud statement to my heart.
but i live away from this sea, in a half and half place, cold and gray in winter; warm and green in summer. it seems i resign myself to a bitter acceptance of the cold and gray, because i so rejoice in the warm and green. where i live is a very beautiful place, when it is warm and green. there is so much to see, smell, hear, feel, touch, taste. riding through the warm and green on my bike i have a constant smile on my face for the beauty of the land. i cant think of anything i want to do more.

right about now, i am feeling.......

you forget, home is where the heart is......
no, you are mistaken, i have never forgotten that home is where the heart is. i wish it meant more to you, my heart that is, and that you had tried to walk in my moccasins for a bit, to really understand my heart. you were so busy trying to get what you needed for yourself that you forgot about me.
once on the far side of the beach it will bring you peace, love and happiness. it is there i will find you...........
