What a weekend!

 Unexpected as it was, a summer weekend  

at the beach is a bonus. The hot summer day's

invitation to catch the sun, the beach and the sea

becomes a very special time for togetherness,

laughter and fun! A spectacular time whilst enjoying

the balmy weather on the sand, as the sun falls

slowly behind the line of the horizon where sky

meets sea. We watch sunset with gratitude

and witness one of nature's magic moments!

In our busy lives, we don't often partake

in the joy of living by the sea! Lucky are those

who can. Lucky are also those who can accept such

an invitation, if they live in the city! So what else can

we do on such a day? There is the shopping, preparing

meals and having these together. Even tasting

the blackberries that we picked by the roadside!

Loving these types of activities and plenty more

in store, I see! What joy in this experience! True

friendship developing day by day. Also maintaining

this connection, this new time in which Sunset

Love is taking shape since we are sharing so much

together in such a short time! Then back to normal,

to my chosen life to promote languages, peace

and harmony through my poetry, radio and TV.

The right balance I must search, as you do too.

Our life in this third age period is very demanding

in spite of the freedom that we have at hand.

Our bodies need exercise, good food, conversation.

Trying to live a balanced life with our family,

neighbors, friends and the world at large.

Today's connections in our global village is a real

challenge, as we are all together online

and in real life. So a weekend together is what

we needed and had! Thank you for the invitation.
