May there be Peace

1/1/2012

Finally, it is 2012, a year that promises new beginnings, great wonder, much joy, and lustrous days.

If today was an example of what we might expect in the New Year, bring it on. What a gorgeous day -- clear warm and lucid. Mustard blooming white and gold by the roadside, exuberant waves breaking down to lace, delicate sun, kissing winds, great floppy elephant seals sunning themselves on the beaches, and the happiness of dogs.

Always the happiness of dogs.

Happy New Year, one and all.

May the coming year be as marvelous as any of us might imagine. May we all find ourselves lost in blue skies, shouldered into ocean waves, ankle deep in blushing sedum, blooming yellow gold and pink.

Life is good.

May there be Peace.

_ I am happy to be at the beach, happy to be sitting amongst the washed pebbles, searching for bits of greenstone. The ocean waves are wild, rambunctious and insistent. Great walls of green water roll over and end as a shimmer of lace that settles easily on the sand. I am made happy by the erratic rhythm of the sea, the deep voiced tumble of water against sand, the reedy whistle of the wind. There are children running on the beach and happiness.

Everywhere there is happiness.

Everywhere.

Peace.
