Beach Dogs

 

Have you been ever seduced by the sea?

The first splash like a running embrace,

the foam kissing your heels,

and the ebb that calls you to follow her into the deep.

Once you hear its song,

the sea-longing never leaves you

ever again.

Umbrella Days.

Stranded.

Sometime last August, my friends and I visited another friend who just moved in to his new home. The weather was a bit heavy and we didn't expect that it would pour that hard. There wasn't any storm signal but it rained as if God was cleaning house. The metro was flooded, classes were suspended, and power outages were expected. In other words, we were stranded.
