It's Finally Over: Voodoo Fingers
A Minute to Myself (53)

What Are Beaches For?

Beaches are for:

 

·         losing track of your thoughts in the continual movement of the waves;

·         sitting on sand that contours to the shape of your body;

·         watching the movement of the waves with such intensity that the rhythm of your body matches the waves;

·         casting your eyes beyond the horizon for endless vision;

·         harvesting a detachment from yourself that comes from an absolute connection to your surroundings;

·         bringing with you a constricted feeling and uncovering a richness in unknowingly relinquishing those bonds;

·         controlling nothing, not even the time you leave for you become caught in the never-ending cycle of water moving forward and then retreating.

(We're off the florida together. First sister trip ever.)

Waves of healing thoughts go out to her, and you. Laura

Ah... beaches... I'm really hoping I have the energy to drive to our beach house this weekend... I need some long solitary walks!

I hope you make it; the healing power of beach walks might be even more powerful than 10 veggies a day!
