Floating in the caressing cool waters of the southern seas. Tonight's display of the Milky Way calms the restless soul. The black ocean waters dare the dreamer to swim to the distance depths of inner space, foolishly, I do. Unable to touch the bottom and see what's beneath, I tread the dark wetness as fast as possible till I'm gasping for air and the sea shore is no longer visible to the naked eye.
The Milky Way is even more glorious now, and I relish in the statistical fact that I have less of a change of dying from a shark attack then killing myself. Delicious danger entices me to swim farther out to sea, and I do.
Treading deep Hawaiian waters marvelously lit by a dome of cascading light from the stars illustrates the infinite luster of nature. No camera or words will ever come close to what I witnessed that night.
The allure of soft sand, the might Milky Way, and the crescent moon bouncing light between the palm trees makes it very easy to accept the reality of one day becoming another victim of time.
