on our own.
it is my instinct to throw off my clothes and jump in. i have to. there is something deeply elemental in me that cannot resist. i have to allow the rocks to leave imprints on my knees and fingertips, while a stray twig holds my hair back so i can see. i have to build the fire, set the table, create home.
he knows all this. he steps back and allows; and hangs the hammock for me while i do what i must.
and, together, we remember how to be on our own, in the most simple of needs, with the newest of our longtime love.
back of every creation, supporting it like an arch, is faith.

A big sigh of joy.
I feel a bit far from knowing what it is like to be with just him, and seeing this reminds me that the day is coming. And there has been some hard work getting there.
Gorgeous photos Lisa.

Sigh… thanks for the amazingly stunning ocean pictures. I long for the waves myself and flop around in our local lake when I can. I’m a waterbaby as well and cannot contain myself either. Enjoy!!!
