THE BEACH is the place to be!
Ah, my favorite place to be and I’m going there the beginning of next week! The plaque at the beach house sits on the sand and reads:
IF YOU’RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE AT THE BEACH,YOU’RE LUCKY ENOUGH.
I always have a brand new journal for each summer at the beach. I’ve included a poem on this page that I wrote in my journal last year. This is an excerpt.
WAVES ROLL AND HISS
never pausing
CRESTING AND SPILLING
HYPNOTIZING; MESMERIZING
MONOTONOUS
yet soothing in their sound
AND RESTLESSNESS.
I AM NOT THE FIRST
TO DANCE HERE
But today these
insects and flowers
among the dune grass
ARE MINE.
