10-10-10 It’s 8:15 a.m. and I’m facing east, sitting on the beach. The beach is completely serene and satiny in this light. The sound of waves as they dissipate has a long sheen to it as well. The beach has few people, no clutter of human furnishings– just pelicans on their long horizontal flight path. That’s what I love about this beach– the depth and wideness of it, and the emptiness. So, in words I save this moment, sewing it into a bag I will carry with me into winter, early darkness, repelling chill, small spaces. I will take out the bag and open it to breathe back in the missing pieces of the 360 degrees of my life.
aaahhh. thanks for the mini trip. elizabeth, you are amazing.
