Shedding Skin on Sunset Beach

 

When the world’s spinning way too fast to catch – head for the beach and write your way back  ….

A sleepy sun leaves bouys without faces to trace lingering steps on icing sugar sand chilled by the late afternoon.    And the chalky white drift of a pelican patch invites the mind to float and a school tickles the surface as jetty sticks stretch long into the sound.    And when thought interrupts to say, “You know it won’t last and time is never so still.”  You take that moment back into a sandy pocket and leave the hurry behind.
