Ocean Beach, California~
“C’mon Jerry, get in the water.”
“Nah, I don’t feel well. I’m having a reaction to the medication I stopped taking. I’m going back to the car.”
Jerry wanders back to the car leaving me grinning while standing in the rolling surf with my jeans rolled up.
I stroll along the surf, do some beachcombing, and realize how soothing it feels to have bare feet in wet sand. The desert and the mountains hold a beauty and a soothing aspect of their own. But neither have wet sand with rushing surf frothing around your legs.
