The sun came out today and gave me the encouragement to go outside. That, and a friend’s suggestion to check out a park nearby that I’d never been to.
Being outside was what I needed. I felt the warmth of the sun on my face, finding its way through my jacket and hoodie. My feet found their way to the beach where I spent time taking film photos of whatever I fancied: abstract shapes from seaweed, rocks, tracks in the sand; cloud formations sitting atop the land across the Sound; or driftwood twists that look like limbs. I made sure to stop and enjoy that good feeling I was feeling. To make note of how it made me feel so I have the courage to go out again and experience Earth more and more.

Very interesting. Right away, I started thinking about what it looked like, like one does with clouds in the sky. Thanks.
Lovely! Man, do I ever miss the ocean… it’s not enough to live beside one of the Great Lakes, a lake is not the same as the ocean!
I’m with you on that! I remember when I was getting college applications. If it wasn’t on either coast I put it in the recycle bin. I knew deep down, especially from having grown up on Guam, that I couldn’t live too far from the ocean
