Somehow, when you are in the tropics, it's easy to lose track of time. There is a sense of timelessness that washes in with the waves, a whisper of "Just Be" that floats in with a warm breeze. I've been listening to those soulful notes and allowing them to take me deeper.
That's why you haven't heard much from me. We've finally moved into the little writer's cottage by the sea, the one I've been longing for for years.
