Few enough places in the world
bring us real peace, and even fewer people. The very thought of you
transports me into your presence, as if you could touch me from any distance. Each memory of your effortless smile
envelops me in warmth and soothes me. If I could vacation at the seashore,
working on nothing but my tan basking in the sun body surfing laughing with the gulls studying the waves and currents sending cares aloft in the wind for a month; that change of pace would serve me
almost as well as a moment of your company or an hour of meditation upon the dreams that we have shared. How is it that you mysteriously
obliterate my tensions, even while you make my pulse race? You are the spiritual retreat within my mind,
a mental boardwalk along the waterfront,
my favorite paradox. |
