I have been here in what is arguably the flattest place on earth. If Columbus would have been sailing from here he'd likely never have gotten funding.
I drove into Miami yesterday through the everglades. Stopped to marvel at what a divergent ecosystem it is from the one I am so used too. No matter where you looked there was really not anything that even remotely resembled dry land.
When I got to Miami I felt like I so rarely feel in a city anywhere. I have been in a lot of cities, but I so felt an outsider looking in. Almost turned tail and just went home as I could not even engage anyone in conversation. However, I did find my way to south beach in the Art Deco district. I probably walked too far and too much but it doesn't seem to have affected anything. I took many pics of my fave buildings and went to commune with nature on the beach. It exists there not 100 yards from such vibrant humanity..What a wonderful dichotomy!
On the 90 minute beach I was able to watch huge thunderstorms over Gator Alley. Tall thunderheads would light up with the lightening like an over sized hot air balloon. I am sure the colors must have been dramatic as I could even see them. Remembered that one of the few things I truly love about the south's ecosystems is the ginormous gloppy rain. Had to stop and just stand out in it and get soaked. Now that was a wondrous and cleaning thing! Found myself washed over with a renewed energy and spirit.
May the peace that surrounds us all find and fill you wherever you are, whatever you are doing. let it fill your day, your heart and the face of another with a mirror of your own.
