so many choices to decide on,
but what oh what 
am I in the mood for today.

I bent down to feel it myself,
such a weird feeling.
A new adventure awaits us.

  1. I like the sailing scene you've captured in that last piece, one I think you could expand on later if you felt like it. I like the bit about the sailor having to bend down and touch the sand to reorient himself after being long at sea.
