Are you afraid to float in the salty waters? Or do you stand on the waters edge looking in, afraid of what lurk below the surface? Afraid of what you can’t see. Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe just dive in and see what happens.

I wrote a blog post today about my dad and seashells. I won’t go into it all here, because it was so complicated and simple all together that I couldn’t do it justice. Go give it a read if you’d like (link in profile.) if not, I’ll leave you with this - be vulnerable enough that you can find beauty in the smallest of things. And be stubbornly, stupidly and unapologetically yourself.

Sunset

"Clouds come floating into my life - no longer to carry rain or usher storm - but to add color to my sunset sky." R.Tagore

I have been on the slippery slope of sickness today - sliding down it's icy face with no hope. Despite being on a rapid decline downward, I watched the sunset from my dining room this evening and thought about good things - love and hope and family and sunsets. And I somehow let the sun take away all the sickness and pain and bad thoughts away - slipping into the darkness never to be seen again.

Thank you Sun. Until we meet again...
