Dreams: Where Do They Take You?
I am exactly where I am supposed to be…are you?
Hammond Beach, Oregon 11/23/23
Yesterday, I had a lovely visit to the beach with my son. It was a beautiful treat. I had a chance to see the beach from 3 different angles. Walking down by the beach in a quiet lagoon area, watching the water from the high dunes -it was too steep to go down -and finally finding a spot where we could walk on the beach next to the water.
The power of the water always amazes me. No matter what the water just keep going…and keep going.
I wonder…the water knows what it is doing. Do we?
Where life will take you next?
Each step we take…

The tracks on the beach can go miles and miles. You can take a truck, or a car, walk, or even slide on the beach. Each choice will take a different amount of time.
You can also just stand and watch the water from any point on the beach or above the beach in a silent meditation.
You can also make a choice to walk barefoot on a cool winter morning to refresh and ground yourself.
All choices would work. All choices would be perfect for what you meant to do. What choice would you make?
Check out my choice below.
Our Past, Present, and Future are continuously changing based on the actions we do at any given moment.
Example:
I had the option to make a choice yesterday as to which beach we will visit. we have many beaches and walks in the surrounding area. I chose to visit Fort Stevens State Park. We visited 3 areas of the park. Some areas were open while others were partially closed. Some areas were windy while others were quiet.

I could have ignored garbage on the beach. I decided not to do that…

Each choice we make can make the world a little better place.
Magical words from Rick Allen from the Arizona Desert Museum. I wish I would have been able to visit this magical place. Next time…until then savor these images and story.
