Gratefulness
Let me not forget to notice all the seasons of the ocean with an awe-filled soul— equally winter’s pounding surf and summer’s gentle swells. Every bay a changing alchemy of colors—smoke, sapphire, aqua, slate, and sky. Let me not forget to search September’s waters for the curved backs of whales, their tails breaching toward the sun, dorsal fins of dolphins undulating smoothly in and out of waves just beyond the breaks. The ocean’s briny smell fills my lungs with longing for a simpler life. She urges me to set my cares aside, float at peace in her salty arms.
