I like to dig in the dirt in the worst raggiest, most Comfortable clothes I can find...."garden police" (the birds and bees) do not give a crap....I can sing and be off key..no one judges (except for perhaps-the birds), I can curse (loggers daughter_I am skilled in "cursive )
I can get dirty and everyone understands and well, I basically live in "the woods" (very rural).so I'm set to wander at will.
I also live reasonably close to the beach....now there is a place you can get lost in...salt on your lips, soothing roar of the water, the sounds of sea life, agates, rocks, small driftwood to discover and glass-blowers hide beautiful glass floats around a few times a year for people to find....Refreshing crisp wind to blow the dust off the gray matter and clear (cure) the soul-and when your really lucky..a sunset so spectacular...it lasts a lifetime.
