&quot;All the adversity I&#039;ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.&quot; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -Walt Disney

i wake up
quietly cross the floor
feet like a cat
open the door

i smell the salt
taste the breeze
feel the sun kiss my cheeks
and breath in the warmth

i cross the shore
feet like a cat
feel the sand beneath my toes
and know that i am home

The beach is my one true love and a place I can be myself. What more is needed for inspiration?
