Escape the Okie Zone

this a personal creative non-fiction journal about a traveler and his evolving life. He saw the waning warmth of humans through his puppy's eyes and now he see the world through his child's eyes. He thought much of our country's warmth went dormant when Bush held our country hostage! Some of my hostile readers suffering from overinflated egos might actually think that I might be writing about them on this blog! Get a life please ;)

I guess there is something very magical and seducing about the sea....
each day she looks longingly for you...
you are drawn to where you came from
when you were primordial microbes surfing the endless oceans of the primeval earth...

you are always tempted to take a swim...and feel where the rip will take you ...
out past the last breaker and then bide your time for the right one to take you in...

You wake up and are drawn to her from dawn to dusk...
you see the deep part of the rip just next to shore
and decide to get in there
put on your fin and swim out...
a little animal takes a nibble around your ankle...and lets go...
you take the next ticket wave to shore...
chat with the lifguards who ride out to you and they give you strategies about how to take the rip out....


I never thought that I would be writing love poetry about body surfing with the Goddess of the Sea..
