Yearning
All day I've had this desire to go to the ocean. To sit on the beach and rub my feet in the sand and feel the breeze and smell all of the things that gives sea air its wonderful tang and to listen to the waves...
I do miss being near the ocean, but it's always more of a thought in the back of my mind. Today though...
I felt like if I just stood up and looked over my cubicle wall, the ocean would be there. I wanted it to be there so badly. I wanted to be on the beach when it's overcast and every sense in your body is telling you that something is going to happen. Or being there when the sun is out and running into the water when you get too hot and then the water drying on your skin and tasting salt if you lick your arm.
*sigh*
But I'm more than a thousand miles from the nearest ocean.
Silly Midwest.
