I was walking on the beach early this morning listening to music when an older woman walking the other direction approached me and started waving her arms frantically as if she had something urgent to say. I quickly slid my headphones off and motioned with my head, “Yes?”
The woman smiled as wide as the Pacific and said, “Can you believe this is where we live?!” There was an awe that lingered in her eyes as she looked from me to the beach and to me again.
I hope I have that same sense of awe at her age.
