While in the pursuit of happiness,
one should stop -
and just be happy . . .

Afternoon and Nightfall on "Our" Beach

One of three aquariums NC is building



 

Morning Has Broken (Nags Head)

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dew fall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

(recorded by Cat Stevens/lyrics by Eleanor Farjeon)

View to the west from Surf Side Inn
