true essence ~

....
when i walk along the water, that's when i find that place i so desperately, want to call home. maybe it's that i fall under the zodiac crab sign. who knows. maybe it's because when i come home to the water, i take photographs with my heart, and not only my eyes. 

i believe the water is that calming, funky, place of solitude that takes me by the hand, and says, come on in, rest, relax your bones, or dance your ass off, if the mood hits you. : )

Love that quote. This is also one of my favorites:

"Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away." Barbara De Angelis

So many of us feel at peace near the water I think there must be a deep, spiritual connection. I just need to hear it...waves, or rushing streams, or a fountain...and I am sure y pulse slows.

I have read that book several times. It is one of my all time favorites. It always applies. Women crave silence. It is essential to our being. Lovely post.

Beautiful photo. Beautiful words. I'm a Cancer the Crab and have always been drawn to the ocean. It's just in me. :)

Love anne morrow lindbergh's thoughts in the gift from the sea. I also fall under a water sign and water soothes me, it delights me, and oh yes, I would love dancing my ass of on a sandy beach with the water flowing by.

I couldn't agree with you more Christina! I love the water and it's my favorite place to be.
