Devotional Memoir

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.

Sand between my toes

This week I’ve walked on the soft, white sand of Pensacola Beach and stared out at the deep blue and aqua waters of the Gulf.

I’ve relaxed, breathed in the ocean breezes.

Watched sandpipers race the tide.
