Weekly Photo Challenge … Serenity

A look of serenity cannot be captured ; truly. It is a feeling and often so fleeting that it is not reflected in the body at all.

However; I not wanting to not participate have a story instead.  My daughter and I are separated by the Atlantic Ocean; a furious monster that brings us grief and despair.  However, by the same token from generous waves we get  joy and comfort.

Often though, we both forget the place somewhere in between those crazy climes, a place of serenity and calm not noticed in the upsy downsy of life.   This snapshot taken on the beach near my daughter’s home in Rio, sort of represents that place … looking out to Europe and home and me looking back and for a moment only a heartbeat away
