The S Is For "Sucks"

On my bike ride home this evening from Steve's, I decided to bike along the beach because it's usually more enjoyable even if it takes a little more effort to go up the hill on Garrett at the end. The tide was all the way in, against the cement wall, and there were massive waves, the ones we only get every so often. Most of the waves ended up crashing against the wall, sending up a spray of water. I love how little water droplets get caught in the air and make the air taste salty when you breathe it in. I'm going to miss the smell of the ocean, and how it's constantly changing, shifting from tide to tide and how all the waves eventually break on to the shore, and it's just so peaceful to watch it. It calms me from the inside out somehow. Walking along the sand, leaving footprints, knowing that a couple of waves later, no one will have ever known you walked there. It's the complete opposite of the moon, where the footprints left there will be there until someone else steps there or otherwise alters it. The ocean is forgiving. I'm going to miss sitting on my rock on the beach watching the waves roll in, listening to music.

Oohh and it's raining now too. I love the sound of raindrops on the roof. And the feeling of rain dripping down my face and soaking my hair. It's one of my favourite feelings in the world.
