That’s Where I Want To Be…
Disciples drifting on the waves
They call to Jesus the one who saves
There’s Jesus walking on the sea
Disciples said, “That’s where I want to be”
And if you step out of the boat you just might float
Take a Chance by Lost and Found
Lost and Found has been a favorite band for.. .. umm.. more than half my life. Songs from “This” and “Sikkibahm” have been staples on my mix lists for years and some of my favorite times growing up were centered around Lost and Found concerts. The time finally came to update my play lists, what better to add than “Something”!
Heard “Take a Chance” for the first time while headed to the beach for a weekend surfing trip. What a great song and I apologize for taking it out of context.
Fighting Relentless Waves
Every…
… visit to the beach is line a day in paradise.
… resplendent sunrise over the ocean is amazing.
… safe weekend drive on the Garden State Parkway is like winning a Roman chariot race.
… day at the beach without a sunburn is equivalent to leaving a cave to enjoy the stolen gift of fire from Prometheus, without getting scorched.
The water at Island Beach State park was spectacularly clear. Never have I seen (or could have imagined) the ocean of the New Jersey shore so beautiful. The waves were exciting with intermittent rollers suitable for surfing.

Weeds and Dead Leaves Encroach
The grave marker belongs to a man and a life unknown to me. A mystery further shrouded by weeds and dead leaves. Hidden but not forgotten, the flag placed there adds meaning for the flag means something important to me.
Does the flag mean the same thing to me as it did to the life of the person commemorated by the fading marker? An impossible question to answer.
Should a flag fly over my grave would people see it and superpose their understanding of the flag over my own? Or will they superimpose, adding to the meaning, instead of replacing the true meaning?
What did I just do upon viewing the marker and flag that stood before me?
Happy Independence Day America.
