| Introduction | I am 12 years old, lying in my bed at “Z”. Everyone else is asleep, but I am wide awake. The sound of the sea has woken me. The dull constant roar,it soothes and thrills me. My body is burning from a week's long sunburn, but the night air is cool, fanning the heat. My brother is asleep in the bed by the opposite wall. I hear his deep breathing, almost a snore. I picture what it must be like now on the beach. So dark, the ocean salty black. But the moon high and proud, a million stars blazing. I am happy to be here again next to the sea I love so much which is part of me, but so much bigger than me. Both our mysteries together, soaring through space. My body is so strong and powerful. I feel so alive and young, safe in my bed by the sea, while the world is asleep. |
