Beach Notes While Suzie’s Away
This morning as about to write something, I came across Suzie’s Beach Notes photo. Soon, I was walking beaches I’ve walked in Oz. I was thinking thoughts of the people I know there.
A beach walk is like grand music that fills me with space, light, and meaning. The feel of the sand under my feet, the expanse of the sky over the water conspire against any need to control things. Even wild stormy beaches make the world seem far more in control than I’ll ever be. It’s a reassuring, peaceful freedom.
Space to breathe, no noise, even the sailboats are made for sea — not for the people who sail them.
Every beach I walk gives me hope and calmness in my soul. It’s hard not to think that the world will keep turning when the water keeps returning. Sky, water, land . . . build a beach fire.
Last week Suzie walked this beach thinking about getting out of your comfort zone.
This week, I’m asking, Will you try on that comfortable beach feeling?
