As a child

First memory of sand and waves holds fast in the corners of my mind. Living on the island of vacations I experienced. As a child. 

There was another beach before that. When I was a toddler. Depicted in family photographs during our sojourn in Thailand.  

But Bali reigns in my memory files. Footprints on the beach taking me back. 

Hot sun, yellow sand. Volcano in the distance.

The new year

Rise early in the morning. Just in time to walk out in the dark and witness the first edge of dawn. Pushing light against silhouetted trees, houses. Flooding pale hues of color across the sky. 

No matter what happened the day before, whatever is taking place in this season—somehow the break of day clears the dark.
