Living in sunny Santa Monica, the beach beckons me every day. I spend most of my free time laying on the warm sand and staring up at the clear, blue sky ... thinking absolutely nothing. How beautiful to just be.

When I awoke this morning, I could feel the air getting cooler and the sky getting gloomier. Summer is slipping away, but I will continue seeking out my inner peace. I will continue heading towards the deep sea. The closer I get to the water, the closer I am to that calm. As the waves crash against the shore, they wash away my worries and turmoil. I get lost in the rhythm of the undulating waves. I feel small. I feel insignificant. I feel the need to continue the fight.
