Amazing writing as usual Mr. Sparks.
He's serving to inspire me.



Wrote a million postcards and letters.



Had a relaxing friday.
Watched the sunrise with my roomie Joe.



It seems to rise so suddenly, much quicker than Oklahoma's slow creeping summer sunrises.

continued reading.
went with jen to Hickam Shallows.
You can walk out almost a mile into the ocean it's so shallow.

a few quotes from others more worldly than I about the love of an ocean:

"we saw the western coast...nurse the shoreline like a wound" brand new

"the cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea" Isak Dinesen

"i dropped a tear in the ocean and whenever they find it i'll stop loving you, only then" anonymous



and one of my own:

"as the tide ebbs away the dry sand like a persistant child tugging at his mother's sleeve, so i am alternately soothed and urged to remember the child i once was and the woman i am becoming."
