Coming to consciousness, my face inches from open windows, I am so grateful to be here in the Keys. Warm, moist salty air from the nearby ocean flutters over my eyelashes.
A tropical bird caw pierces the quiet hum of palms blowing lightly in the breeze. Small birds twitter. Serenity is broken by barking of an unhappy sea lion at the nearby Dolphin Research Center.
Her heart aches for family and freedom, bringing this moment into reality. Amazing and idyllic is not enough to escape all the pain in living.
My eyes open to the early light of sunrise. Peachy soft clouds suspended in baby blue sky over the tops of fellow RV's awakening to share this bliss. John stirs with the same recognition --- is this real?
Pinch Me
