Today’s Theme: Contentment

The children are playing at opposite ends of the cove, each alone unto themselves. Eden surfs endlessly, riding the waves on her boogie board. She is brazen in her surfer-girl two-piece, whilst everyone around her is clad in neoprene to endure the cold water. Cate, on the other hand, is more cautious, standing only mid-calf in the surf, half-wrapped in a cover up skirt, her toes never leaving the protective shield of her water-sneakers. Cate throws fistfuls of sand in the air, her mouth forming songs and fairytales for only the surf to hear.

I marvel that they are so good at this – being alone, living within the present wave, drifting on the ebb and flow of the tide.

A Prayer of Thanksgiving:
Thank you for these, your gifts,
which we receive from your bounty.
Amen.

A sample from the small-is-beautiful book of our rockaway memories.
