I am in love with Ocean
lifting her thousands of white hats
in the chop of the storm,
or lying smooth and blue, the
loveliest bed in the world.

In the personal life, there isalways grief more than enough,a heart-load for each of uson the dusty road. I supposethere is a reason for this, so I will bepatient, acquiescent.

But I will livenowhere except here, by Ocean, trustingequally in all the blast and welcomeof her sorrowless, salt self.– Mary Oliver, from Red Bird

I took a much need break at the shore. I feel rested and renewed.

What a nice variety of photos. I suppose it doesn’t suprise you that the one showing the dune grasses is my favorite, but they’re all attractive — and look at that nice sand!

I love the ocean. I haven’t been in a couple of years. Soak some of it in for me, please.

ahhh, the break sounds lovely–and now I am pining for the ocean like you and dear Mary Oliver. Glad you are feeling rested.

Love the photos, especially the beach chairs as I imagined that I was there too. Glad you got to enjoy a beach day.
