The Calm Before Many Storms

Kissy and i discovered the simple things in life can often be the most fun...we purchased a random bath tub from a little Japanese hair shop, not only was the bath tub its self adorable (Pics to follow) but it also came with two different styles of huge rubber duck to float on, one being the regular duck and the other being the Cockatiel version with its red cute cheeks and adorable tuft of hair.  So? you say...Well these little things became a stupidly fun way to kill an hour.  We rezzed them on the sim in the lake and went about trying to steer the little buggers until we came to the conclusion that they like the physics and we just bobbed around at will, getting caught up in the torrents of the lake we drifted out to the shore line where the waves grabbed us and dragged us out further to sea. 

It was truly beautiful out in ocean beyond the wild waves, we bobbed slowly for a moment or two, unseemly adrift, i spun around in the sea foam for quite a few minutes and the the current took me around the east side of the sim, spinning and bouncing and almost throwing me off into the merciless sea.  I called out to Kissy who was daydreaming at the sun setting, she managed to get her duck past the wild waves and on the brow of the horizon i saw her bouncing high in the air as she hit the surf. 

We free floated around the edge, speeding up past the village, we were laughing as we got dragged through the currents, i held onto ducks neck tightly, my hair stuck to my face from the waves splashing me and almost wanting to drag me in, Looking over at Kissy who was just as soaked through, and we just burst out laughing.  We chatted as we drifted, spinning in slow circles and getting dried by the warm evening air, we floated around past the waterfall and castle towards the lighthouse and sat watching the sun make the sea look calm and serene.

It's moments like that that make you realise that life is indeed about the calm before every storm.  We learn to appreciate these moments of pleasure, because they seldom last and there after something will often come along and bash you from your pertch. 

I indeed love these times because soon after that moment, the storm started to swirl in my sky in the distance.   

Settling on my little duck i looked out onto the sunset and wished that i could just keep floating....
