happy easter! our power went out this morning, so we took a long walk on the beach. the beach here is different from any other beach i've been to before. the sand dunes stand so tall that the ocean is hidden until we've made it over them. whenever the wind blows, depending on the direction we walk, the sand will spray our legs and arms. large tire tracks make several nude stripes across the sand, the patterns in the tread that can be felt under our toes.
the sound of the ocean waves is surprisingly soothing, rhythmic, almost melodic as they break along the shore. the wind whistles around our heads and through our ears. birds hug the coastline, running in and out as the tide chases them, their feet moving fast and sure.
i am not a beach person, but it's hard not to get lost here, to let the wind and waves and sun and sand envelop me whole.
