There I stood. In the most beautiful place; the place I loved. I stood there laughing while the sun’s rays kissed my skin. Cool faint breezes threw my hair in all directions. Alone. Free. Away from it all. The sand felt so good beneath my feet. The laughter didn’t stop. I closed my eyes to the sound of waves slapping against the golden smooth sand. This was it. I laughed harder and as I did, I ran. I ran forward for there was nothing in my way. Nothing to stop me. Warm inviting waters began to lick up against my legs. I stopped and opened my eyes. The water glowed with the reflection of the sun. I could taste the ocean in the air. I held my hands out by my side, palms facing out. My eyes tried to capture the intricate beauty surrounding me. How the waves folded, the billions of grains of sand, how the snow white cotton clouds floated in the perfect blue sky. No one could find me. I was alone with the creator. The designer of all these beautiful things. And it was with him that I lifted my hands and danced.
