I think about sitting on the shore of an ocean, looking out at the drizzly atmosphere, the warm grey sky gripping my body. I can feel the water in my bones, that ancient connection to the waves, pulling me. And I can hear the birds in the distance, driftwood washed and floating at my feet. I flip off my shoes and roll up my jeans, ready to feel the coldness on my skin - this is life.
Every moment in life is a translucent sheath - you can see shapes on the other side, but there is no detail. I am convinced the only way to make sense of it all is to experience each of those moments as fully as possible.
Happy Birthday Cora! I hope you have a beautiful day with your self and those closest to you. :)
