On our last camping trip out to our lake lot, we had one of our evening campfires. My mom dug out a bag of Mystical Fire from somewhere in their trailer and once dark enough to enjoy, I had the privilege of putting the little packet in the fire just as I had done so …

Ocean Waters
Is there anything better than watching and listening to the sound of the ocean waves like the ones below? While on vacation, my husband and I have spent countless hours on our lanai mesmerized by the everchanging curls and splashes of the South Pacific waters against the shoreline. There is just something so tranquil about …
I Wonder If….
I wonder if the old guy is still trying to fish. I wonder if new people are exploring the beach for the first time. I wonder if the cardinal has shown up again. I wonder if there is a slight breeze blowing. I wonder if the twenty-somethings are trying to ride out the waves. I …
The Ocean’s Sweet Lullaby
I close my eyes, I hear the sounds, The swooshing, the whooshing, Of the salt water tide. It's soft, it's bendy, It's music to my ears, I imagine it's wise beyond its years. The soothing, the lulling, Nearly puts me to sleep, A dreamland of water, Forever mine to keep:-).

Exquisitely Layered petals delicately unfolded for all to see, Their soft, velvety texture inviting us in with each gentle curl, Like an ocean wave, lapping up nature's every ounce of beauty.
A hiki i kekahi manawa (Until next time…)
As I board the plane, and look back, I see all that I am leaving behind, I reluctantly take my seat, And, I begin to feel it happening, Slowly, but surely....the oozing begins, All of the ocean's waves, All of the fine granules of sand, All of the swaying palms, All of the …
Freedom Within, My Soft Lullaby
The lull of the ocean draws me near, It's layered blue depths of which I silently fear, Yet, inside my soul there is a continual yearning, The nature of which I am still eagerly learning, In it lies peace and a sense of calm like no other, As if it were a close cousin or …
Jibber Jabber with Sue
