I walked slowly, stopping to chat with a young family of a naked, chubby one year old boy who was joy personified, stumbling across the sand, fists full, putting what must’ve felt like miles of distance between he and his mama. 

​I thought about my soon to be a chubby grandchild on this very beach a year from now.

I stepped in and was surprised by how cool it felt after the 97° day. I reached in with cupped hands and brought the water to my forehead and heart.

Later tonight after I turned every light off in my house, I went out to the pool, naked. Floating in the water listening to geckos and wind, I offered myself up to the jungle saying, “Here I am. Take me.“]]>
