Picture this – Ambleside Beach in West Vancouver. You see Stanley Park and the Lions Gate Bridge to the left, Vancouver’s Point Grey straight ahead and English Bay glistening in the foreground. Along with friends, we find a nice spot in the warm sand, leaning up against the logs lying on the beach and enjoying the cool breeze blowing off English Bay with that saltwater scent in the air. My body is desperate for a nap so I settle down on a towel, confident of the two uber moms who are watching the kids. Listening to the waves wash on shore and the muffled laughter of children and caws of gulls, I let the afternoon doziness overtake me, falling off into a delicious nap.
That is bliss on steroids, delight in hyperdrive.
