My favorite places to contemplate are those where I can
spend uninterrupted time listening to moving water.

I constantly revisit water venues where I can sit or walk
for unlimited time.

Sounds of water flowing, roaring, lapping, crashing.
Shapes of water falling, crashing, swirling. bubbling.
Water colors of blues, greens, reds, oranges, and all that separate the white from the black.

I am reminded of so many places that I have been beside the water
with no desire to ever leave.

I am fortunate to have someone that knows the time to say,
"This is enough for now. Interrupt this dreamy peace. Return later."

My thanks to all skilled artistic contributors.
