Seagull (Click picture for larger view)

As I watched the seagulls, I thought, "That's the road to take; find the absolute rhythm and follow it with absolute trust." ~ Nikos Kazantzakis

Salty breezes blow off the quiet ocean as the waves break over the sandbars. The ocean sounds, steady and low, to and fro, a rocking lullaby to those sitting on the warm sand. A lone seagull surveys the horizon, gauges the winds above, contemplates the tides, and feels the unrelenting call of the sea.
