Where the silence soaks into you, starting in your ears and ending in your toes; and then calmly seeps into your soul. Where your heart pauses to listen, to feel and to connect back to the creator. Loons glide among the waves, seeming to fly across the water. Salty and sweet tickles your nose. The moment you take a deep breath in, you are completely at rest. The chill in the air filling up your lungs and lingering even as you breath out, to remind you of where you are, and what your business here is. The voices of others playing, laughing, talking down on the rocky beach slowly drift away as the sun prepares to wrap itself in the mist and dip below the horizon to sleep and rest and prepare for another new day. Gently pink and salmon creep out above the sea blue water, always changing like the ocean’s facial expression…a small window into the depth below. My eyes are this way, another connection to this special place. Lavender and lilac slide out after the pink, morphing almost so quickly you can't catch it to orange and then to the lightest of yellows, deepening into a yellow that cannot be described with words...finally falling abruptly to a twilight blue, that can only truly be appreciated with a heart that belongs in part to the sea.

A perfectly brilliant, amazing, beautiful way to describe how those of us feel that are so connected to the sea, written by a brilliant, amazing, beautiful woman who I am proud to call my neice!
