I stopped the car a short distance from the beach.
I headed to my favorite getaway, with shoes in hand.
The sand was cool beneath my bare feet.
My face became wet with sea spray.
Back and forth the waves splashed and crashed.
The sea churned a rhythm that soothed my soul.
Its continuity settled in on me like a gentle blanket
of tranquility. I liked it.
I mused in my unhurried contentment.
How long this feeling had gone lacking
in my world of schedules, distractions
and need to please others.
Simplicity is so gentle. Its attributes leave room
for front porch swings, neighbor visits,
a slow walk with a loved one.
Those things are not accomplished
with surfing the web, Twitter or Facebook.
I breathed deeply. I enjoyed.
I lingered a while longer.
My thoughts were interrupted
by the catchy sound of my cell phone.
Why would someone impose upon
my reprieve from the real world?
But I had given them permission.
They had my number.
Choices, life is about choices!
I slowly walked away
with a backward glance.
A single seagull followed
as if to bid me stay a while longer.
I got in my car and drove back to reality.
How fortunate for me that my reality
is not a bad place to be.
My only lack is simplicity.
I vowed to do this again, someday, soon.
