the beach
every time i see the beach, it's like the first time. i have tried and tried to put into words what i see, but the words fail. rather, i fail at making the words see.
it has been a good visit home. this afternoon, i had a taste of sunshine, and it filled my soul. on my way out of syr, i learned that i had passed my black fem theory exam, so that made the trip home even sweeter. i'm still waiting on news from the other two.
why the beach? because it never ends. didn't someone say that the sea has no memory? i haven't decided whether or not i agree with that claim.
memory is so fickle. there are times when i return to satellite beach and remember not being too happy. divorce and puberty was a troublesome combination. but when i go back, those memories don't belong to me. instead, i am thankful to be close to water again.
quote of the day
