This comment has stopped me in my tracks. I’ve been down a rabbit hole (of my own making) for the last few months thinking on all the harm I must have done in previous lives to have gotten me here, arms full with different bundles of grief. Yours is such a wildly different perspective that I hardly know how to digest it. Thank you 🙏 ✨
My wife and I used to live in Rockaway Beach for many years, I did a lot of work for a man who owned a kite shop. If you are ever coming back to the area, hit me up, we can show you around.
I have walked Cannon beach and my experience was magical..but maybe not this magical. Maybe it was the company...or something else in the air that day....
"The best days are not shells to pocket; they are stones to skip on the water—just to watch the shattering of the light." Wow!! What a gorgeous, gorgeous sentence... Along with many others in this wonderful piece.
Wonderful essay. I live in this area. It really is that magical!
You must have done some fine things in your previous lives to have landed this life in such an amazing place.

I love this! Good days aren’t meant to be kept but experienced. Beautifully written!
Your last line. OMG.

Thanks, Lizzie.
Love this very much.
This…all of this is going to be among my thoughts for some time I expect.
Your way with words is something else, Chris.
…that rock rocks…little moments one at a time become momentous…
