gift from the sea

it’s time.  tomorrow, i will be heading east, until i reach the shore.

goodbye to deadlines and proposals, commutes and traffic, meetings and conference calls.

hello to laughter and sandy beaches, late nights and bike rides, boardwalks and seagulls.

every year, i return to the shore, along with my family, to relax and recharge, to listen as the sea shares her secrets with me.  every year, it’s something different i find, and yet it’s always exactly what i need.

this year, i think it’s peace i seek.  a little bit of sacred, golden peace — plucked from setting suns and salty breezes and sand dunes.

enough to sustain and enough to share.

my gift from the sea.
