We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic
~ Van Morrison
♫ (Into the Mystic) ♫
I love both the painting and the words, they are both the epitome of “By the Sea”. 🙂
Thank you, Joanne. It’s amazing how often seeing an image will conjure up a song from my memory… 🙂
May the soul and spirit fly free as the colors in this picture…
Amen, Kathy. No strings attached to color etiquette here…
About 75% of our planet is ocean. We came from the sea and to the sea we will all return.
I’ve been told that our blood, sweat and tears all have the same percentage of salt in them as the ocean…
I feel like clicking my heels and shouting CHEERIO! after reading this post 🙂
So pleased reading my latest combo brought about such uplifting reverberations to you, Laurie! 🙂
“Into the mystic …” I like that expression.
Me, too, Sybil, to feel one with the divine universe…
I was just listening to this song, Barbara. It’s one of my favorites. Love the image you picked to go with the lyrics. 🙂
It’s one of my favorite songs, too, Robin. I’m a big Van Morrison fan, but I have yet to see him in concert – the ticket prices are way out of my league. Maybe some day, you never know… 🙂
The colours in the painting make me want to visit the seashore! Jane
To smell the sea and feel the sky, and then we can see the colors there!
