Sunset experience

Tonight The sunset was pretty nice
But what sunset isnt nice?
A few people here and there
sitting on the beach in pairs
Some nice young people from China too
So nice to meet them

Its becoming less about what the sunset looks like
and more about the experience
meeting interesting people every time
other peace seekers finding their own path
to that which renews the soul

Maybe Ill see you there next time?

Last night Lightning

A friend asked me recently why I like thunderstorms.  She didnt understand how I could be one who seeks peace yet still love these storms.

You see peace isnt always about quiet, or calmness to the senses.
In a thunderstorm all that untamed power, and the roar and flashing lightning, they shut out the things that are troubling my soul.

Some days I am so tuned in to hurting people, or to the troubles of life, that it becomes overwhelming.  The storms provide shelter from the storms of life, I guess.

So when the winds die down, and the rain and lightning decrease,
just maybe the calmness will stay in my heart for a while.

Peace....   coming to a storm near you.
