Desiderata

Peaceful easy feeling

"Go placidly amid the noise and haste
And remember what peace there may be in silence"

That's how the Desiderata begins. If you have never read it, its worth a read. If you have, but not in a while, its worthwhile to reacquaint.

My kayak takes me out of a world full of hustle and bustle. It takes me to places where the silence is only broken by the sound of water lapping at the shorelines, the sounds of seagulls soaring overhead, the sound of sunlight sparkling on water. It brings me home to myself.
