The Space Between Dunes
Between the dunes. There’s just the sea breeze and me.
I’m looking out across the ocean. Walking down through the coarse grasses, feeling their roughness with my fingertips. As people must have done for as long as people have existed.
18th century.
16th century.
When the Romans were here.
Before.
Then there’s listening. The incoming tide, the waves pulling back from the beach. It feels like a healing sound. I wish it could be prescribed to everyone as needed.
The light is silvery over the dunes now.
No health concerns. No book stuff.
Just me. And the sea.
I sometimes write more sensible things! Do sign up for my occasional newsletters if you would like to be kept abreast of these.
