Each day has enough trouble of its own&quot; Matthew 6:34<br /> <br /> ...&quot;I have no time for fear, or people in my ear. Head down and running so fast, try not to dwell on the past. I&#039;m fighting through this pain, and things I cannot change. Running right into the flame, rather than running away&quot;<br /> - Maroon 5 <br /> <br /> &quot;You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.&quot;<br /> - C.S Lewis<br /> <br /> &quot;It&#039;s not about the destination. It&#039;s not about the journey. It&#039;s about the transformation you make in yourself as you go along that journey.&quot;<br /> - Unknown

Eyes closed.
Standing in the breeze
Ocean washing over me
Miniature, gritty rocks smoothing my toes
Wet coolness blanketing over me
All thoughts disappear.
Eyes closed.
Alone for a moment
Shifting under the water
Eyes open.
Floating up toward the yellow globe above
Thoughts return.
Serenity is gone.
