(i went on a trip to sandy neck this weekend with my coastal field ecology lab for an overnight trip. we were asked to write in our lab notebooks thoughts while sitting on sugarfoot (a sand dune) in the middle of the night. this is my entry)
i feel very different from everyone here. while the rest of the group seems disinterested and passive, i can barely contain my excitement about what we're doing and i just want to sit outside all night, listening and watching.
i am so happy and relieved to get away from bc for a while and dive right into all of this hands-on, throw you in experience.
there is an immense, overwhelming sense of peace sitting atop a sand dune, by yourself, when the sun rises.
how are people so apathetic?
i will never understand people's inability to care. or, rather, maybe people do care, but about things i don't understand. when faced with such beauty, i don't see how people can't cherish every moment and be in awe of where they find themselves - where there exists so much beyound our understanding.
(sorry dr. auger, but you asked for personal thoughts)
it makes me wish brad was here even more. its what makes me love him the most - knowing how passionate he is about this (and that i am not alone). i want to be able to sit on sugarfoot all night and enjoy the beauty of this place with him.
i am so unbelievably lucky to have him in my life.
my favorite part of this is being outside. being able to walk and enjoy the fresh air. too often, i am stuck inside at school.
it is in places like this that i am complete (except that brad isn't here. that hole just hurts). until this past summer, i had never lived by the ocean. and now, after three months, cape cod feels like home. the instant i smell the ocean, i never want to leave. a connection is there. how does that even exist? oneness with something i've visited only briefly in my life and read about incessantly.
i am just happy here.
the stars are so beautiful.
