I love when skin, caramelized and rosie from warming spring sun, meets the crisp sting of salty sea. Lapping waves slapping goose-bumped legs, and each succeeding foot blindly seeking squishy pebble-sand in the unseen terrain below.
Nothing is quite like the ocean.
A liquid womb of life and savage death, serenity, intrigue, and unmatchable aggression. Tiny white boats bob atop the surface, giant humming cruise ships are toys in the breadth of the massive sea. Chilled-out surfers straddle their boards in patient anticipation of that next wave. Our greed and delusional dependency gradually grease its creatures into nonexistence. And yet, it still remains to be a magnetic body of beauty.
The sea is life and yes, it scares me, but I love it more.
Today I jumped into the ocean.
You are quite poetic...it makes me want to get sandy.
