On Sunday haze blanketed the Atlantic on our section of Long Beach Island and created this strange halo effect over the ocean. It was almost a rainbow. What atmosphere, like finding oneself in a Guy Maddin movie, or on a ghost beach, as my daughter called it. I wonder if it had anything to do with the heat of the air and the nerve splintering cold of the water.
I didn't want the weekend to end. Here's some elements to help me suspend time a bit with help from my camera, which I didn't drop it in the water this time.
There was an odd quick karma event on Saturday when I got up, at some point my husband brought me a cup of coffee with no milk or sugar. I made a farce of complaining, but anyway there was no sugar because I hadn't brought any. I guzzled it down black, then went off to get beach passes at the office. I went in to find no one there, and all I could hear was someone taking a shower. I kept saying "hello? hello?" It was eerie. Finally a woman came in and I told her I was sorry if I had pulled her away from something. She said it was fine, she just hadn't had time to put her milk and sugar in her coffee.
I hope all of us who like coffee light and sweet get our milk and sugar. And if not, then at least some sand and salt water.
