i dream of beaches


and faraway places……..of marshes and sea grass and birds soaring gracefully over the waters….i once saw an eagle perched on a tree branch over a shell mound on Edisto Island…surely one of those top moments of a lifetime, while a quiet man spent the day fishing off the dock in the river just down the hill from our cabin catching his dinner. i dream of beaches with a constant breeze and shrimp boats on the horizon catching our dinner. i dream of sitting on a screen porch and dipping my paint brush into water and painting mermaids. i dream of picking shells and being awestruck by the patterns that nature paints on their surface that even in shards reveal intricate delicacies. I dream of boat rides to islands where no people inhabit, where tree skeletons tower and birds truly are in paradise.
