what i love most about living near the beach is

being able to head down at any time of the day

or night.

it is always a different place. the tide changes the

way the water moves and the way the sand forms.

sometimes if i am lucky there are shells,

or sand sculptures or beautiful cloud

formations and the colour of the sea

is always a surprise to me.

no two waves are ever the same. just like no two

moments are the same. the beach always reminds

me that things never stay the same.

earlier i arrived in the heat of the day and the tide

was high, the water icy but delicious.

after dinner we headed down to cool off. the tide

was low, small waves had arrived to thrill and delight.

the girls out on their boards that they have rediscovered

and the best light show i have seen in a long time all

happening.

and always familiar faces to connect with. unplanned

meetings with friends and acquaintances. i like those

the best somehow, spontaneous conversation and sharing

without any expectation or finesse. authenticity and

synchronicity at play.

i am so grateful for living in this place, it nourishes

and relaxes and feeds my spirit. always better for having

had my feet in the sand. always.
