It Speaks To Me

Maybe it's a sign that someday I will actually live in Maine, I don't know. But on a rainy Saturday, I still love the beach. I love the sound of the waves more than anything. I'm easily annoyed by people laughing too loudly or talking too much. So on a day when the beach is deserted, I'm truly at peace.

I could just sit and listen for hours. The splash of the water on the pier catches me off guard and makes me laugh out loud. The feel of sand between my toes, and cool lake water on my feet touches my soul in a way that little else does.

Today, we field tripped to the water. But it feels like we had a brief visit to Heaven.
