Respite.

There is nothing more rejuvenating than a visit to the beach.

Setting Sail

Exultation is the going

Of an inland soul to sea, --

Past the houses, past the headlands,

Into deep eternity!

Bred as we, among the mountains,

Can the sailor understand

The divine intoxication

Of the first league out from land?

                      ~ Emily Dickinson

But more wonderful than the lore of old men and the lore of books is the secret lore of ocean.

                        ~ H. P. Lovecraft

The cure for everything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea.

                            ~ Isak Dinesen

At the beach, life is different.  Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment.  We live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun.
