Reviewed on April 13, 2009

To find relaxation through spirituality and nature...whether through Buddism or Christianity, lifts the soul.

Your motion of the ocean is a good notion, Ed! I do enjoy the solemnity of my back yard, broken only by the many birds singing to me, or the clown-squirrels cavorting around. Need to be doing this more often before the heat of summer takes over...
Enjoyed this one of yours, friend...thought provoking.
Blessings and Love - Micke

Perhaps you are the original "Spaced-Out Space Cadet" ???

Lying on the soft sand at water's edge, mostly covered except my face, I feel the earth rotate and hear her breath. I see the heavens above and I am at peace. Yep! Water will do it every time. Nice poem. Thanks for the memories. Peace, J'nia

That special space, you just make me remember what it was, and inspired me to write a few words about it.
It was very special, even when by that time I didn't knew the difference between Zen and Yoga or Buddhism.
The art of relaxation can't teaches to a stretched to the maximum spring just waiting to snap with all its being.

Great advice, Ed, and I am reminded of a time when Darrell and I went panning for gold in a running creek up in the North Georgia mountains...the sounds...so soothing...the isolation lending itself to mental space...a revisit might do well. Thanks for reminding me of many pleasant thoughts. Be well, Kathy

Ah, I was there a couple of days ago, Ed--the Oregon Coast. Something about the wildness of it makes me feel calmer. Love the mountains, too.
Or along the Columbia River. Like this write...

I prefer to think on the Peace of God. =] Although nature's sweet sounds, created for our enjoyment, help too. Especially ocean waves or birdsong.

(((HUGS))) and love, and God bless you, Karla.
