winter

several days can pass where we don't make a point of seeing the ocean or beach in the winter. when that happens i can feel myself grow restless. there is something very grounding about a winter beach. the stillness, the quiet, the solitude, the wind, the cold. today we ventured down. it was windy and traces of snow remained on the sand. some times the kids are happy with my excursions, and then other days you can see all they want is to climb back into the warmth of the car. even on those days when our trip is fleeting, i hope something deep inside them feels more centered and balanced by just being there. i know i do. it is such a gift to live near the sea. so wild and beautiful.
hello ocean.
