Playing at the Beach: Ode to the Biggest Sandbox

I grew up by the beach.
I’ve lived away from the beach.
Now that we’re back near the beach.
I visit as often as possible.
Before kids, I’d go for sunsets and leisurely walks.

Now I:
Get dirty.
Sit in the sand.
Play.
Build things.
Throw rocks in the ocean.
Dig.
Relax.
Watch for dolphins.
Turn off.
Listen.
Hold hands.
Create.

Just be.
