If I had a dream...


It would be to live in a cottage by the sea.

I think there would be something deeply cathartic about waking up each morning knowing that you can share your feelings with She who is the Sea. With all of her many moods - anger, sorrow, happy, playful... the list is endless. But you know that casting your worries, doubts, as well as pleasures and successes out into that great wide void that they will be heard and considered.

I would revel in the ability to be able to walk along the shores in solitude, as well as with those who are loved. You could picnic, or sit and gaze in the sea. Pick sea shells, play frisbee...

Living in St Andrews By the Sea allowed me the oppertunity to realize what experiences you can get in a sea side village that you just couldn't enjoy in the city. For example, tell me the last time you actually smelled fresh clean air after a good rain rather then air tainted by the city dirt? When was the last time you were captivated by a sky filled with twinkling stars rather then the eerie red glow of light pollution?

One day I will realize my dream *crosses fingers* if not ON the sea... atleast a 5minute walk to the sea.
