WRITING FROM THE RITZ OF ATLANTIC CITY, NJ

A golden line forms at the horizon of sea and sky. An explosion of light forms around the edges of clouds and morning is born.

I am happily ensconced at the Ritz and have met several very lovely women who have drawn me into their swimming group. I find the Ritz to be filled with the loveliest, most welcoming people. I was worried because I did not have fancy clothing and thought that might cause me trouble meeting people, but everyone is very relaxed here and everyone says "Hello!"

The color of the sea and the sky changes with the mood of the water. Sometimes the sky is a soft, gentle blue and the ocean is a slate gray blue, then you'll look out of the window a little later and the sky and ocean have become one light gray color and the horizon has blurred into a solid wall of fog; you feel like you're sitting inside of a cloud; which I understand we are.

I have finally gotten unpacked and am putting up the pictures this weekend. I am madly in love with this room. It is a long rectangle that is broken up into thirds. On both sides of the front door are a bathroom and a walk-in closet with rows of shelves for storage. In the middle is a tiny kitchen on one side and a writer's den surrounded with books on the other side. Then there is the area of the couch and chair; the bed, a dresser, and a night stand on the opposite side. This is the ocean viewing area of the room and my window can remain open every day to capture the sounds, sights, and smells of the sea and the Boardwalk.

I sleep so soundly now at night; no more sleeping aids. The crash of the waves on the shore lull me to sleep in the early evening and wake me up before sunrise so I can watch that magnificent spectacle.

There is a salt water taffy and fudge factory next door to this building-they also sell ice cream cones. There is a psychic's office two doors down and there is the IMAX in the casino next door on the other side of the building.

I have walked and been using the exercise room every day. It is a lot of fun and I have been able to walk to the bank and drug store and a Spanish grocery store smaller than my entire room.

I want to thank you for standing by my side during this last move. It took a lot of work and organizing to get moved in, and I was afraid I might lose you because of all the mishaps and gaps that occur when your life is disrupted. But you are here with me and I thank you for being my support team and coming back to visit me.

I hope that you have a very good weekend and get to rest and relax. I will keep you updated on my adventures at the Ritz on Sunday mornings and the rest of the week I will finish serializing Legend of Kor. When Kor is finished I will then go back and complete the first book, THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell.

Have a wonderful week ahead of you and may God bless you and your families with wealth and health and the abiding presence of ONE'S spirit in your life. Thank you again for your support.  Davalene Hirsch
