sometimes late at night when i’m driving along the highway, i pretend that the gulf of darkness extending to the west is the ocean and that i am only seconds from the sea.
the familiarity of that notion extends far beyond the comfort that only a coastline can provide; it encourages in me a sense of serenity, of peace, of strength.
lately, though, i’ve forgotten about her. and in doing so, i have only forgotten myself.
but i am beginning to find the shore once more. and to my surprise, i’m falling in love with the sandy seas of the desert.
