untanglingknots.com: Ocean

Dear Karla

I hope you and Mark had a wonderful time down south. I can almost feel the intense Caribbean sun shining down on my pale northern Canadian face.

I can hear the beach, the waves coming in from thousands of miles away, large and fierce, but sometimes soft and barely there at all. There is something about the ocean that lifts my spirits. I haven't seen the light blue waters of the Caribbean for a number of years, but try to make it to an ocean once a year.

The endless expanse of water. I love the feeling of looking out and not seeing anything but horizon. I love how the wind tastes and smells standing on a beach.

The last time I saw the ocean was a cold winter morning of 2007. Hubby had to help me down the rocky slope so I could get as close to the water as possible, my belly was already throwing my balance. The sky was a deep blue, the wind was too strong for clouds. We navigated the red sandstone shoreline, tracing out the quartzite nodules with our boots. The wind brought tears to our eyes. We walked until the ocean slammed directly into the cliffs we were scaling.

A somewhat different ocean experience then what you had I imagine!

Somehow I think lawn chairs and cabanas wouldn't quite work on the north shore of Prince Edward Island....

It was great fun staying in your corner of the interweb. Thank you for asking me to guest post.

I hope you have a safe return.

and, bring some of that sun with you...ok?
