philosopher stone experience

even meditation has to wait until i finish watching the sunrise. the mind is filled with the sound of quiet, the eye is drinking in the fresh, pre-dawn sea, a calm mirror of soft silvery blue. i rest my vision in it and see the sunset prior. the ambience is one of pure gentleness. the entire sky dome is fish belly grey except for a trim of orange gold neatly along the horizon. the soft blue of the sea is exquisite. a whiff of cool breeze heightens the scent infusing the inbreaths and outbreaths. on the spot hwubby says, let's go to the beach, and i go, why not? moments later we are there and are presented with a philosopher stone experience. under our feet and before the waters is 14 k gold. the atmosphere is still infused with gentleness. the quiet is alive. and we are held in awe.
