Waters Edge: (Edited): 13 June 2010:

From the middle inland, I can still hear the waves' echoing roar. From the deserts west, I can still taste the moist salt in the mists. From deep within the northern forests, I can still feel the powerful waves crashing through my whole being. The deep emerald greens of these southern waters have colored my eyes. The warmth of the swirling coastal waters surrounds me and comforts me. The living waters of the gulf fills me with a natural, everlasting energy. To swim gracefully along side the dolphins out in the ocean's deep is a freedom my heart desires. (R) C.J.MacKechnie
