Beyond the Breakers

Beyond the breakers
I look back to see the green
   and blue of my home.

   Beyond the breakers
the thrill rises as I count
   to the next big one.

   Beyond the breakers
I am poised and ready to
   ride the wind and sea.

     Back to dry land.

You naughty boy Tim!! Don't you know that every seventh wave is exceptional? How else do you think Steve Mc Queen escaped from that island prison?? God....I have SO much to teach you.....

Isn't it funny, Jean: I thought of you being in quiet country lanes, not out beyond the breakers. Always nice to get back home, Hugs, SuZ

The wonderful thing about where I live is, like for today for example.....I walked through the wood and returned by the beach Suzanne. Rather than surfing, I prefer the waves crashing over me as I head out for a swim. Nice to see you.
