A place in nature that uplifts my spirits.
A calm, soothing, serene location.
The beach.
The roar of the waves wash away the hard times life throws my way.
The arguments I have had.
With my spouse.
At least for that moment.
Until I can gather my thoughts once again.
Along the coast, anywhere.
The beach.
Breathing in the fresh, salty air.
Promoting the desire to be out.
Outside.
Under a blue sky.
A grey one.
Feeling one with nature.
The beach.
Strolling down a path that leads to the sandy surf.
To hear the waves roar.
Embracing the moment.
Keeping an eye on the glistening ocean blue.
As it rolls onto the coastline.
The beach.

I love this and I love the beach. Even though I can still probably count on one hand all the times I've actually been to a beach in my lifetime. There is just something calming about it that has always called to my spirit. I would love to live close enough to visit on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteI realize Kat that the ocean is a piece of nature I will always want close by.
DeleteI love water as I grew up on beautiful Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteI selected you for an award. Check out my blog.
Thanks Laura. On my way....
DeleteThis is lovely. I am a beach lover, too and I embraced every line. ♥
ReplyDeleteSomething about it, eh? Jo. Something lovely.
DeleteWell done d~ I sometimes miss the spray of the water on my skin, toes in the sand, peaceful drumming of the waves against the shore... thank you for giving me a moment, to remember.

ReplyDeleteI am visiting from WoW. What a sweet prose piece, a little sad, a little haunting, but that just gives it weight and depth. I hope that makes sense. It is lovely.

Thanks feisty. I appreciate the time you take to read it.
DeleteIm a water baby the beach soothes and uplifts me :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jen. I won't say I am a water baby. I just love the sounds and smells the beach provides. Even as a kid, I hated playing in the water, getting all that sand in my suit! Walking in the sand... Now that is heaven for me.
DeleteI've never been to the ocean, but I imagine it's the same feeling I get when I wade through the prairie grasses on our farm.
ReplyDeleteLovely post! :)
I think you are right, nancy. It's just a feeling. A feeling of somewhere that sparks your energy.
DeleteI am so with you on this one! I live 3 to 4 minutes from the ocean, and have the privilege of driving by it every morning, admiring its beauty, on the way to driving my kids to school. Nice post!
ReplyDeleteAh, I envy you, linda... How I wish I could step out my front, or back, door and see the the ocean....
DeleteNever a day goes by that I don't wiggle my toes in the sand and stand in awe of the sea. I am so blessed to live here and I pass on a big ditto on all of your sentiments regarding the ocean. Your prose is lovely and I love your back ground photo. We have been having such clear beautiful sunsets here too.
ReplyDeleteHi Tia. Don't you live in laguna
DeleteI spend as much time as p[ossible at the beach - it's a place that sooths my soul - this is beautifully written :)
