Ocean

After attending college reunions, we went northward to Massachusetts for a couple of days to visit relatives. One afternoon, we took a scenic drive along the coastline.

It has been eons since I last saw the Atlantic. As I looked out at the deep blue of the water and caught the faint scent of salt on the breeze, I realized that I have missed the ocean.

The desert has its own unique beauty, to be sure; yet the flourishing green of the trees and the grass, juxtaposed with the azure of the sea and the clear sky, was stunning. Far beyond words.
