As the grass before us slowly diminished, we stopped to unstrap our sandals and make the plunge. Our feet hit the sand and the soft particles of broken rock bounced off our toes. It felt cool and fresh. The wind was picking up and the chill continued to wrap around our bodies. A storm was approaching but we didn't mind.
We sat upon the softness of the sand and watched a handful of people who dared enter the water on such a cool day. As they walked past they waved hello and smiled - a true sign we weren't in the city anymore. People were friendly here.
As I walked into the ocean, for this first time this summer, I felt a warmth like never before. The water was icy but I felt so warm. It was the kind of warmth you feel when you come home after a long trip, or the warmth you feel when you jump into your partners arms after not seeing them for a few weeks. I felt at peace, as if nothing else mattered in the world except for me and this ocean before me.
A true harmony within me was formed. It felt good.
Oh what I wouldn't give to be on a beach right now!
gorgeous post, the photos are so beautiful! I love trips to the beach like that when the water is still icy... not that it's anything other than icy up in the north of England!
