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

    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.

    Beautiful photos Tracey! I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend...
    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.

    Beautiful pictures as always. Corrine said to me on TU (when it was snowing) morning, "Beach." She had the right idea. So did you! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
