"I like the sea: we understand one another. It is always yearning, sighing for something it cannot have; and so am I."

Greta Garbo (Picture Show Magazine Interview, 1927).

We’re having my step-dad’s “Awake Wake” at the ocean this weekend, and it is beautiful.

Growing up in Oregon, I took the ocean for granted, but after eight months away from it, I literally cried when Aneth and I first saw the Indian Ocean.  It was the first time she’d seen an ocean at all, and I just kept thinking home, because it was a different ocean, but they all meet eventually.

I don’t think I love any coast like I love the Oregon coast, freezing cold though it can be.
