So Few Summers In The Lifetime Of A Cool-Weather Girl

I just realized that not once this entire summer did I wear a swimsuit, enter a body of water larger than my bathtub, or even put my feet in the ocean and this makes me very sad.

Moonlight Dancing Along The Waves

On this, the coldest night of the year, I find myself wishing to be found sitting on the rocks, staring out across the sound.

Bubbles Just Get In The Way

Tonight I was highly disappointed to discover that, despite the fact that I quite enjoyed them when I was small, I really do not like bubble baths.

Damn The Slippery Moss

If you never see me again, it means I've been drug out to sea and captured my mermaids.

Come With Me Or Be Left Behind

The warm weather tempts me to forsake all of my commitments and run to the water.

Water Soothes My Soul

I love the way my hair looks as it floats in the bath water, lit by the evening sun.

You Can't Have It Both Ways

Only in North Carolina can there be a severe drought and a flood warning at the same time.

Sugar Loaf

My skin smells the way that a child's does after s/he comes inside from playing on a spring day.

Shallow Water

I have been dreaming almost every night about walking in shallow water - be it low tide at the ocean or through a stream - and I wonder what that means.
