Outside, the clouds are dark. They're waiting for the rain to start walking. This is what happens when the weather gets too hot. All of the sunflowers begin to curl in their dry beds, and the sky eventually answers by giving them water.
I'm in need of some water too.
When I was 10 years old, I had a love affair with the sea. My family rented a motor home and traveled fifteen hours. We rode past our prairie town, far into the mountains, all the way to the seaside. When we arrived, I mined for seashells, kayaked beside pelicans and sang my first ever campfire song. I wore the sand on my feet like it was a bouquet, and each little grain made a flower. I've been putting my ears up to those collected seashells ever since.
It's been a long time coming, but at last my family is ocean bound. We're renting a motor home on Thursday to travel the same roads we took when I was 10. I have goosebumps just thinking of those waves.....

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful words, Amy. I realize how fortunate to live so near the ocean. There's nothing more free than standing against the waves. Love your outfit as well, you look beautiful. :)

It's curious, 'cause I was born by the seaside. My life's been salty and wet as the ocean's waves, and I'vebeen always dreaming about a white forest, full of snow and cold. In this hot summer we're living, I smell that forest and play in dreams with the pixies. But the truth is that I never would loose the salt in my blood.
ReplyDeleteGo ahead with that lovely trip to the sea, as the seashells are waiting for you to sing in your hears stories from the sea :)

You are a beautiful writer. And love the outfit!
ReplyDeleteOh I just adore your outfit! You look absolutely gorgeous too :D
ReplyDeleteLooked through the rest of your blog as well, love your sense of style. You look amazing in every shot!
Oh! i so enjoy your blog. The ocean in certainly something to be dreamed of and explored. We are trapped in almost-but-not-quite-yet-spring over here, and it is disasterous for holding one's hopes at bay. I hope your trip is magical.
ReplyDeleteMuch love
