The Beach

 

I love the beach. I love just lying on the sand, staring over the ocean, and watching all the people walk past me. The best of Waikiki. During my tropical meditation, I started noticing women... the young women - Asian, Russian, American. Beautiful bodies, tiny bikinis...and then I had the startling revelation that I am never going to wear a bikini again, and, I am never going to have a body that is smooth, hard and curvy again. The question is, did I ever? What I had, was the belief that I could have that body if I really wanted it. Old age suddenly sat down beside me and slapped me into reality. I am no longer young and it is never going to get better. Damn.
