Dolphins show thyself...

...I screamed silently at the ocean. But they didn’t.
But I did see;
Wonderful waves – more powerful during the first part of the week because of the hurricane out in the Atlantic that brought with them all kinds of surfer guys. Some waves that sparkled in the moon light, so much so that it seemed that they lit up as the waves broke.
Stupendous shells – most of which I was able to admire and then leave on the beach.
Marvelous moonlight – as the moon continued to grow throughout the week until it was full.
Wonderful weather - with temps in the low 80s and an almost constant breeze.
Little lights – that danced upon the ocean last night. They looked like little fairies in their own secret moonlight dance. After being fascinated by them for some time and trying to guess just what they were I made a correct guess – they were glow in the dark tips that were attached to fishing poles that were anchored in the sand on the beach. I personally like the idea of fairies dancing better.
On Tuesday we attended an hour long lunchtime concert given by Anna and her Harp. Tonight we will take in another concert in New Bern. Tomorrow Karen and I will be on the road once again. Traveling home. On Sunday I head north again this time with Jay to pick up my sister-in-law, Judy, to pick up the van in Bethlehem, to meet Jerry in Baxter State Park. At this point he is planning to summit on Thursday. On Friday, who knows?
It has been a wonderful week. I’m so very grateful for the opportunity to share this time with friends. The wonders of nature never cease to amaze me and to be able to here where the ocean keeps whispering back to me ‘Enjoy what you experience. The many gifts around you. And be grateful. And by the way, don’t forget to scatter joy.’
