In minutes, the wind worked to sweep their footprints clean and offer a flat, clear expanse all the way to the ocean where the sand became wet and sparkled invitingly with seawater.”
― Victoria Kahler, Luisa Across the Bay

“When we depend on the outside world for our happiness, there are billions of causes that can take away our joy.

― Awdhesh Singh, 31 Ways to Happiness

I wandered many miles
From shore to shore,
While keeping my word;

Some waves grew uneven,
And the sand in bays silvered
With each hour of hurt.”

― L.C. Atencio
