dockside

Always wanting to relate to nature and the sea, you let the boats come close to the dock. Some pull in real quietly and nice. Some pull in hard and make a lot of noise. Small boats and larges ones. Young ones and old ones. Everyone has a right to pull into a safe port. Everyone should have the opportunity to leave the dangerous seas they have traveled for stability and security. We see such sadness and troubled times in every part of the world and here on American soil. It's sad. If you get the chance and someone wants to talk, or just say something, or give you some well wishes, allow them the opportunity to do so. It may be their wisdom they want to give to you. Maybe they have gone through some tough times and just want to best to you. We're all in this together. I think the best thing I've done this month was to give a homeless lady all the money I had in my pocket. It felt a lot better than buying something I wanted for myself. She said God Bless You. And whatever religion you may be...or whatever...some stranger giving you well wishes and good fortune goes a long way. Never know how long you may be on this great planet and it's good to know someone, anyone, cares about you. We all need to dock somewhere......
