Summer thoughts

There are some beaches where the waves are very infrequent, but when they do come, they are huge and overwhelming, and the only thing you can do is just look at them in awe and get swept away.
There are other beaches, however, that have waves breaking onto them all the time, only these waves are smaller, constant, and when they go they are replaced byt he next ones. These beaches are quieter, nicer, more relaxing, and you can have a really good time on them.
All my life, I've been walking on beaches of the first kind, where the waves would just leave me breathless, where the sights were amazing, where the roar of the sea was too deafening to notice anything else. And I loved it. But you cannot swim in such sea, it's too overpowering. And you cannot pay attention to what's happening around you, because everything else is too small by comparison.
I am on a different beach now. I can swim in the sea. I can enjoy the sunshine. I can pay attention to my surroundings. It's calmer. It's relaxing.

But God, I so miss the roar of the waves!
Please forgive me.
