Follow me down the sandy path, to the beach.

Jump over the stile...

... with it's worn-smooth hand hold

and pass by the gorse, all covered in flowers.

Smell the salt caught in the reeds and tussocks.

You can see the sand.

There it is...

The ocean.

Spend your time with feet embedded in the water and sand.

If you are still,

the rush and pull of the ocean and sand

will make you feel

like you are

traveling

backwards
