Stay open, soak up the light
Ahhhhhh… a veil of misty fog hovered over the shoreline, softening the morning until the sun slowly rose, painting a golden lining along the clouds on the horizon. The light felt gentle, as if it needed a moment to arrive.
The gulls flew in with hearts and wings wide open, reminding us to stay open ourselves—to receive the warmth, the light, and whatever wants to meet us today.
So many birds gathered: skimmers, laughing gulls, herring gulls, royal terns, and ruddy turnstones. One bird already had an almost black head, a quiet sign that spring and mating season are on the way. There was a hint of romance in the air, subtle but unmistakable.
A skimmer joined the laughing gulls for bath time, moving in sync as they used the buddy system. They said, “It’s good to have a wingman—even during bath time. Some things are simply better when shared.”
Wishing you a beautiful day, friends!
