It is funny how coincidental many of your posts are with my life. Very relatable. I have been experimenting in various medias of art lately, and my entire mission is to create a sensory experience for my viewers, so your words completely resonate with me. Love it. Thank you.

When I was a young bride, I put on Dixieland Jazz to do my housework, truly helped to make it more enjoyable. Where I live now, I can hear boat horns, and alas, sirens from paramedics rushing some endangered soul to the hospital, and the thunder of Pacific Coast Highway. Wrote a poem once about a motorcycle breakinga moment in a grief episode. Thanks, Martha for reminding us to listen for the glisten

My steps are light along the wet sand and my stride takes on a new momentum. The sea reminds me of childhood trips from Danbury to Long Island Sound; to Sherwood Island in Westport or to Norwalk area beaches, always a thrill to taste salt water. The roar of waves during a hurricane was our favorite, so dynamic was the ocean. We kids loved being in the middle of the rough sea. Sea air is invigorating, energizing and even though it is all in my mind right at this minute, I feel it.

Sounds add that extra dimension we often don't think about in our daily life. My awareness has just been heightened to the whoosh of the dishwasher, the murmurs of the television coming from two rooms away, the click of the dogs' nails on the wood floor as they come in to pay me a visit. Sounds give the story depth and bring it to life. Time to do some editing. Thanks Martha.
