ocean beach
Dear Pacific Ocean,
I've only known you for five years, but it feels much longer. I think that a few years spent living so close to one of your many bays was enough for us to form a strong bond. I awoke this morning feeling that it'd been too long since I last saw you (three weeks ago today, and it was only a quick glimpse from the span of the Golden Gate Bridge) and I decided to be proactive and do something about it. San Francisco is "The City by the Bay", but visiting the bay seemed insufficient given how long it's been since I've seen you. So, I decided to put in the effort (really not that much effort, but about an hour on transit each way nonetheless) to see you in all your glory. And it was well worth it. Thank you for the fresh, invigorating air and the soft sand and the big sky. And, given the fire pits on the beach, I'm happy to note that this city welcomes people to enjoy your beauty day and night. Feel free to pass the message on to Gregor Robertson.
I hope to see you again soon!
