Sometimes you don't know how much you miss something until you get it back.
Or in my case, stand beside it again.
It has been months since I have been to the beach and I miss it.
I don't think I realized how much until I stood there yesterday.
Despite the rainy snow and snowy rain, it was glorious.
There is a certain smell of the air, and a certain feel on my skin that I cannot describe, but it brings me very close to tears.
It's as like every pore, every cell has been thirsting, and you don't even know until you take a drink.
And so I stood, at the edge of the ocean, drinking it in through sight, smell, skin.
This is my center, my prayer, my church, my meditation.
This is my home.
All is right with the world.
