The water is all moving in the same direction.
To the left.
I like the left side of the boardwalk.
Sideways, not longways.
The sand's not moving. But I am.
Wait,
my life is like a spinning platform,
the one you stand on
while you're trying to get into your log flume boat.

12:33
That doesn't make sense.

12:37
There's a peninsula
(small one)
of charcoal rocks.
I want to be standing on the very edge of them.
I would be powerful
and then jump in for a swim.

12:39
There's nothing more mystical than laughing.
Everyone has such a nice laugh.

1:14
I see a middle aged couple nearby.
I want to be them one day.

Maybe not.

The woman keeps putting her hands in the water.
It is fall.
I hope he loves her.

1:28
They're gone.

2:00
The water is green.
There are two birds by the water now.
They remind me of the couple.

2:05
Everything's grey..
except the sand.

2:13
You know how the world is on
such an angle when you lean your head
to the side?
Like
craning your neck..
I wish I was falling when I did that.

2:16
It's not raining.
It was suggested to help me get better that I go to the beach a few times a week (because I live very close to it.)

I wasn't planning on writing but I jotted down a few things in a little notebook. Writing thoughts down when I can grasp them is very helpful to me.

By the time I left and got home the whole of it together felt kind of like a piece. I think perhaps I will make a series? We'll see how it goes.
