Deep blue with lighter hues. This piece is evocative of a strong wave in the ocean. Woosh!

The Urban Dictionary describes zen as a total state of focus that incorporates a total togetherness of body and mind. Zen is a way of being. It also is a state of mind. Zen involves dropping illusion and seeing things without distortion created by your own thoughts.
I have been finding myself more and more in a zen like state lately. The air is salty and the water is cool. My hands search for the past through shells and rocks dredged from the earth beneath the sea. As fossils emerge, work fades to the background. Pain and sorrow recedes with each wave. Joy replaces all emptiness and I become one with all there is. The path is becoming more clear…

I know today is all about 911 and that most people will be talking about that horrific event in American History. It is burned into my memory mainly because I had a little girl in kindergarten at the time and I can recall vividly rushing to her school with all of the other panicked moms. Hugging my Muslim friends who had removed their Hijabs out of fear of attack. It was indeed awful. Explaining that to a child was beyond comprehension.
So today I take you back to my kindergarten year and good memories that I hope will make you smile on this day. I grew up the first half of my childhood on Siesta Key, FL. We did not have an ocean view as we were not wealthy, but a very modest home on one of the side streets. Right next door was a fish market that would smoke mullet all day. When bored, I would wander over there and if I smiled cutely, they’d give me a sample of their fish. It was so yummy. But what I remember most is that they had this vertical fish tank in the corner of their store. It was filled with tropical fish and mainly seahorses. I was so intrigued by how they swam with such small fins. I would watch them for hours. One day I noticed one of the very “fat” seahorses was making jerking motions and much to my delight he was having babies!! I squealed with so much joy that all of the customers rushed over to look in the tank with me.
I remember the proprietor asking me if I wanted a little tank of my own with some of their seahorses to care for. I did, but then I thought about it and decided i didn’t. It was much more satisfying to sit and watch the fish over there and besides, I wouldn’t get free seafood goodies at home. 😉

I’ve got the Summer blues. I am not talking about the sad kind. I am referring to the azure skies and blue aqua tint of the ocean waves of Florida. There is also the deeper blue gray of rain in the distance that tends to come around 5:00 pm each day. I am in Venice right now enjoying the salty air and cooler breezes that provide the only reprieve from the stifling heat. This morning we went out and swam in the choppy swells. The temperature was perfect and the sun was hidden behind the clouds for a few hours. I would apologize for my frequent absences from my blog, marketing and work in general. But I am far from sorry. I’ve worked hard for this and can finally live the life I’ve always envisioned. I am spending as much time as possible at the beach this year. It’s just heavenly…
