Cold under my calus feet the smooth sand holds the morning chill and this gives me a reason to run faster. My machine like breath's are layered with the essence of salt water and plumeria. The morning dew is thick and it's sweet moisture lays on top of my sweating skin like a theraputic wrap.

I jump in rhythm as the cool water nips at my feet and never wanting to break stride I gaze ahead to plan my next move. I hear the pounding of the surf outside on the reef, but hesitate to look up for the distraction may bring my momentum to a sudden stop.

I will make it to the crooked palm tree along the little river today, and only after I touch it's smooth surface will I be able to turn and head for home.

Alone with my thoughts and running the beach is my morning love affair.

Aloha is all good, all wise, all love.
