Seal Beach


Everyone takes their boats out to sea...

The townspeople are a seafaring group all closely knit from the same string of fish

Monday's are so ordinary. Meet at sunrise by the docks and set sail. Usual. Boring.

Today, I dared to be different. Today I would live free.

No more usual life for me, I was going to live extraordinarily. I was going to see the abandoned lighthouse that had become overgrown with ivy, shrubs, and tall wheat grass not to mention broken steps leading to the top but, I made it. And it was all worth it. I dared to be different and found an area no one knew existed. A seal beach far off to east...breathtaking.


~Dare to be different, you may surprise yourself~

Tightrope Walking the Clouds


The first time it happened I swear I was tightrope walking across the clouds. Moving so smoothly along the rail all I could do was smile at the sunshine as it kissed my face. I was young, I was dreaming, it couldn't be real, right? The airplane had been so much different than this. This was making my heart race ahead of me yet stay just close enough that I was comfortable. An excited shaking began throughout my body as the slight twists and turns broadened my horizon. I swear there would be no better time in my life, than this. I could die in the clouds..

Stop the Sirens




A city full of people, places, shops, and cabs. The hustle and bustle of every day life. Have you ever stopped and just breathed in the fresh air? Everything is moving so fast. Why don't we allow ourselves to slow down? Just listen to the wind. Hear the Bedouin's song in the wake of the early morning hours. Escape from your city of thoughts and ideas, skyscrapers of plans and stadiums filled with worries. Climb the fire escape ladder to the top of the tallest building you can find and look out over it all. Or, if your more confident in yourself grab a lawn chair and sit in the middle of all the commotion and noise. Let everything holding you back, bringing you down, and getting to you just pass.


In this world of overdrive set a new pace

just,

relax

New Beginnings







So here we are stuck in our everyday mindset constantly doing the same ole thing time and again. Same food, same hopes, same fears, same weather. What if everything in your mind changed. Turning you the other way, in a completely different direction where you have never been. Would you embrace new ideas, new ways of living a turn in your telescope. Today I embrace new beginnings, new ideology. No longer getting caught in the rut of monotonous everyday routine. This time I will start over and find that other path. This time I will embrace...

Diamonds


You think they sparkle you think they shimmer

But darling diamonds don't last forever

You buy and buy and get more and more

But you can't see its your eyes that glimmer

My soul is the mirror

I'll make things clearer and clearer


Chorus:

You don't need the next big thing

Beside the ocean you'll hear me sing

And i'll be your forever

Don't keep looking there's nothing left to find

On the open field i'll captivate your mind

And i'll be your forever


You go to the malls and think that you know

The in's and outs the way the world goes

Don't try so hard to find happiness

It's more than skin deep baby

My soul is the mirror

I'll make things clearer and clearer


Chorus:

You don't need the next big thing

Beside the ocean you'll hear me sing

And i'll be your forever

Don't keep looking there's nothing left to find

On the open field i'll captivate your mind

And i'll be your forever


Are you blinded by the bright lights

Tired from the long and sleepless nights

Worried that you'll never find

What's been right behind

Your heart
