just home from the beach

The sea does not reward those who are
too anxious,
too greedy,
or too impatient.
One should lie
empty,
open,
choiceless as a beach
- waiting for a gift from the sea ~

The sunlight on the water... one of my favorite eye loves. I can hear that picture, smell that picture, feel that picture, and taste that picture.

My ears hear the power and the crashing of waves. I think it's cool that the ocean is so strong, and at the same time, so soothing it can lull you into a best sleep.

I smell the salty air. Sometimes dangerously close to seaweed stinky, but always teeters on this side of organically good.

Bare feet, cool sand, squishy toes, icy rushing water. Fresh.

A wave that insists you taste her ocean saltiness... like a happy grandma, pushing her yummy kitchen treats your way.

Let's sit in the sand, watch the water, and mentally trip away.

Nice pic

Funny you should mention tasting the sea. More about that later.
