MY SOUL LEAPS

I find myself at the extremity of a long beach.
How gladly does the spirit leap forth, and
suddenly enlarge its sense of being to the
full extent of the broad, blue, sunny deep!
A greeting and a homage to the Sea! I descend
over its margin, and dip my hand into the wave
that meets me, and bathe my brow. That far-
resounding roar is the Ocean's voice of welcome.
His salt breath brings a blessing along with it.

~Nathaniel Hawthorne


 

 
I hope your weekend is
filled with the sights and
sounds of something
beautiful.
 
Love,
Tracey

  8. This is such a lovely post. I can imagine you standing in the sun with your face turned up to the sky, inhaling the salty air and just listening in contentment.
    That poetic quote is beautiful. I love how he gives the ocean humanity.

    Oh... And I just spent some time getting caught up. I am so happy the apron arrived! Amanda and I were just talking about how they are a perfect size for little people too! :-)
    Wishing you all the best with your son moving out... Hard for me to imagine at this point.
