summer rituals
yesterday, I was grateful for the day at the beach that I had been day dreaming of all week, complete with cider donuts from Russell's Orchard and digging in the sand with my beloved. There is something ineffably wonderful about being able to locate the desire to do something and then execute a plan to make it happen.That is, I suppose, in general the process that one has to go through in order to lead a satisfying life, but what I'm trying to get at is the beauty of simple desires, like the desire to feel the sun and the wind on one's skin, listen to the waves and dig one's toes into the sand, and having the agency to just go and do it.
