Tranquility In A Sunset

I am in need of a sunset...

The peace and tranquility that it brings to the soul...

Life has been so busy...

Sometimes we need to just slow down,

and go in search of a sunset.

Stop...

Look...

Feel...

Listen...

Relax...

Slow down...

Just taking a Sunday afternoon drive

along our narrow and quaint island roads

fills me with peace.

The old fort,

in all of its glory,

welcomes each sunrise...

Peace?

I think so...

but,

oh so many ghost...or so they say.

I always feel peace in the beauty...

Breathe....

There is nothing more soothing than salt air...

Salt air on a crisp winter day awakens the senses...

The sun is beginning to dip low in the western sky...

I think of another place on the island,

Known for its sunsets...

High on a dune,

over looking the Gulf of Mexico...

Come...

I will take you there...

One last look as the sun sets over the old fort,

and the east end of the island...

Not a sound...

Silence...

Just what I needed after such a lively Mardi Gras beginning...

Now, to the top of the dune...

Balance...

Yin...

Yang...

Pleasure...

Peace...

One without the other is not enough...

We need both...

Blessings
