August Free Styling

I'm starting a new series of posts that will be a collection of my observations throughout each month.  I got the idea as I was sitting on my bed looking through the little notebook I keep in my purse, which is already half filled with book titles, author names, things I've seen and things I've felt at various moments throughout my day.
I decided to string them all together in a new journal to see what I come up with.  It's free-form type of journalism that I'm experimenting with, so please enjoy -


Sitting on the beach

watching the waves

crash onto the shore

Reading Traveling With Pomegranates

Listening to chatter all around me

Flags are waving in the breeze

Mothers pushing strollers

through the sand

Sun peeking in and out

from behind the clouds

Kites tennis balls sandcastles

salt air, sticky skin

I just want to write

collecting my thoughts on paper

making sense or not

It's what I want.
