Wishful thinking

For the past week the sky has been putting up a fabulous show of colors, especially during sunrise & sunset. I feel handicapped without my camera which has traveled all the way back to the States for some repairs...…

The monsoons are here, almost, so this transition period from summer to monsoon is when nature shows her versatility and grandeur. The sky is crystal blue interspersed with white fluffy clouds of all shapes imaginable that turn into grey in a heartbeat… The sun behind then benevolently shines through these gray clouds casting the proverbial silver lining… around sunset, the drab grey gives way to golden yellows, fuchsias, magentas, reds…. You name it, nature’s got it. I can only imagine the reflections it is casting on the sea, the mountains and paddy fields…. All I have around me are the concrete buildings, some thatched roofs, trees, muddy puddles from the rains…. Wish I was sitting atop a mountain watching this spectacular show….hmmmmmm

Universal attraction

Fascinated with the sand between his toes

Omanis enjoying an evening walk along the shore

Taking a respite from surfing

Basking in the mid-morning sun

Hunting for food

Fishing into the evening

What is the attraction living beings have for the Ocean? No matter where you are, what your nationality, what your intention, the ocean never fails to deliver what you seek.

I go into her lap to seek solitude, to feel one with nature, to let her power & strength seep into me, and to lift my spirits. I love walking her shores at dawn, absorbing the salty aroma and sense of peace she exudes; slowly watching the sun rise over the horizon, I am always rewarded with a brilliant show of colors both over the water and sky. The feelings are indescribable (wonder, gratitude, happiness.... all that and much more). You have to experience it to feel it.....

I almost forget to breathe, awe-struck
