Breathe

Two Lights State Park

This is where I long to be this afternoon.  I call it "my spot."  I lay claim to it, fairly or not, this is my place.  Look how gorgeous it is!  Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth, ME.  Yes, that is the Atlantic Ocean on the horizon.  I sit perched on the edge of a cliff with nothing but the open ocean in front of me and...breathe.  For hours I do this.  And this is where I long to be on this gray and cold March day.

I didn't post a picture of my perch, instead the path leading to it.  I can't get there quite yet but soon.  The anticipation is almost over-whelming, just like when I walk to path on the picture.  I can taste it and see it, but not quite there yet.

So, rather than do a lot of writing this afternoon, I am going to lay on the couch, close my eyes, and put myself in this spot.  I hope, wherever you are this afternoon, you can find, either in real life or the wilds of your imagination, your spot.  Put yourself there and...breathe.
