An ocean of time…

I once walked along the ocean for so long I forgot all about time. The waves lapped against the shore and in the distance I could see a tiny sailboat. The sun hung just over the horizon giving life to another part of the world and bringing an end to a long day in my small world.
I thought about what it would be like to be on that boat, bound for anywhere….far far away from the life I once knew. In my mind I drifted for days without a care in the world…my past melted away and the future didn’t even matter……
It’s funny how in our mind, everything works out and things seem to just be ok in the end….
As the sun began its decent into darkness and the wind brought a chill, I awoke from my daydream back to the reality of my life,…..here there was no sailboat and the past was still ever present. My fear of the future was still real and life doesn’t always work out…..but for a moment,…..just a moment that seemed to last forever……it was all so real in my mind.
Ive often thought, I should spend more time walking along the oceans path….but you know how busy we get with life and all of its pressing issues….
But when I close my eyes, I can still see that tiny sailboat drifting on a beautiful sea……
