There's a trait the women in my mom's family share
and that is
the love of the ocean.

When my children were small
and we lived in
Southern California,
we were at the beach nearly
every Saturday
all summer long.
Since moving to the
Northern Nevada desert
almost eleven years ago,
I have experienced periods of great
melancholy due to a servere longing
for the ocean.
Summer is the most difficult time for me
living in the blasted -
I mean -
blessed-
desert
(ha)!
And with summer quickly approaching,
that deep longing,
the wretched ache,
has begun.

And though I have learned not to dwell
on the things that I cannot change,
there is part of me that
wants
to
dwell
upon this longing for
the ocean.
Because for me,
the ocean is Nirvana.
And it's time to go back!
