I moved and then i left my house looking like a tornado hit to go to the beach. incredible silly. so good for my soul.
it was quite lovely to be with my student. and i love road trips.
but i really think the beach is one of the Lord's most lovely creations.
One of my favorite moments was when my friend katherine looked up from her book and said "that was weird." and I knew that she was talking about the particularly long stretch of silence from a change in rhythm of the waves. extra long swells.
I just love the life slows down enough at the beach to notice a stretch of silence. to be caught off guard by the change in rhythm of the waves.
also we played the license plate game with a fervor I've never known. The ridiculousness of it is counting for my 25 before 25 goal of taking a road trip and stopping at a ridiculous landmark along the way. we were on a road trip and I will not soon forget the way we both screamed when we saw a Washington plate on the truck we passed. also i slowed to a near stop on the highway to try and catch one that looked unique.
life is beautiful and i'm grateful for little moments of pause to appreciate it.
