Dreaming of some other place
January 8th, 2010Lying under coconut trees with a fruit cocktail in my hand, the warm sun heats up slowly the sand underneath by feet. Seagulls for neighbours and giant blue and red crabs for friends. The sound of the waves breaking on the reef out at sea like a childhood melody, nursing my mind in a calm, relaxing way. Surfboards next to me, my girls by my side, I’m waiting for the perfect wave. Suddenly it starts snowing. Temperature drops all of a sudden. Sky turns grey, heavy with winter snow. Summer is still far off, I should stop dreaming or else I’ll end up in my bathing shorts out there in the freezing cold!
