So beautifully written. I too, am impatient - carving out peace requires I make effort for it. In a mad world, it's hard to do that - there's always men barking and woman braying and the trucks rattling across the blackness to bring them what they need to keep busy. It's why I like laying out on my board in the water. I don't even need to do - to catch a wave, to paddle. I just lay there, on the surface, watching the edge of things, floating. Probably more a lotus, floating on the ocean pond.
It seems every time I speak to you or read you, I get this sudden urge to drop everything, fly to the ocean somewhere and learn to surf. And someday, I will <3 Here's to floating on the ocean pond ;)
Ha, well, I could sure introduce you to the magic of it.
