Happy to be: Drawing Dragons Day 139

There is a song that we listen to right before we get to the ocean. It’s by Garlic Storm, and it’s called, Swimmin’ in the Sea.

We took a journey today, escaped to the ocean. Right before the water’s edge, we blasted the words: Happy to be swimmin’ in the sea.

Really, it’s the first three words that matter. Happy to be. To just be. To put the phone and the brain away and dig in the sand or toss shells into the water. To gather the mermaid hair. To lay on the blanket covered in sand and convince the dog to drink water from your hands. To be.

To be whatever it is. Maybe happy. Maybe sad. Maybe hungry, headachy, or mad. To own it. It’s yours. Take it. Bring it to the ocean and sit next to it on a blanket. If it feels like love, you’re lucky. If it feels like fire, fan or douse the flames. It’s your time. Be happy to BE.

And begin a dragon when you return. Or be a dragon. Really, it’s your choice.

Working from this reference.

Keep creating,
