Healing Waters

Sunday afternoon on the gulf.

Water: simple, essential to sustain life. Symbolically rich in many religious traditions.

Yesterday, we sat in the sand beside the Gulf of Mexico, enjoying the chaotic crowd around us. Families were enjoying the sun and water, playing and eating together. I felt caught up in a multitude of lives as the sun began to sink into the water.



Solitude

Later, we had a light supper at home and I swam in the pool, alone to enjoy the light lap of small waves in Boca Ciega Bay beyond the resort property. The pool water has very little chlorine in it, and I wondered if the maintenance company uses modern sponge filters. I miss the distinctive odor of  chlorine on my skin -- it always smells like fun to me.

This morning I was back in the pool long before anyone else comes to enjoy it. After only a few days in Florida, I already feel refreshed and renewed.
