She’d never have believed the vastness had she not been there to see it.
In person.
On the edge of endlessness.
The breath of eons crashing at her feet.
The spray of ancient rhythms that had been there
All along.
Through war and storm and hope and flood and cold and warm and days like this when no one but herself was there to witness it.
She’d never have believed the power that it held, contained within each curl of wave, in every roll of whitecap licking sand.
It filled her.
With awe and ache and gnawing yearning to something that went beyond her words and into thoughts unformed, or perhaps ones made of memories in utero: the hiss, the beat, the drums of hearts.
And this.
Another memory
To merge into
In endless harmony.

On the edge of endlessness.
The breath of eons crashing at her feet.
Beautiful! Wish I could write with such depth 🙂

This is beautiful. I often have stood beside the sea in all its vastness. I understood that sense you describe. And, also, your words seem to me as rolling and hypnotic as the sea itself

🙂 Thank you, Crispina! The seaside (oceans or seas do the same thing to me) is my instant relaxation place. I can listen to the waves and my body immediately finds a place to regulate. It’s like magic.
Or memory.
Or who knows.

Yes, in touch with the ancients, the grains of sand once rocks, the salt once living things long gone yet with us still!
