Amazing writing as usual Mr. Sparks.
He's serving to inspire me.
Wrote a million postcards and letters.

Watched the sunrise with my roomie Joe.
It seems to rise so suddenly, much quicker than Oklahoma's slow creeping summer sunrises.

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."
