I visited the Jersey Shore during the first week of September 2024.

It had been eight years since I witnessed the powerful rush of your mighty force- that relentless push of huge rolling waves topped with glistening, frothy foam thrashing upon the waiting shore- reaching and spreading to claim your temporary goal. And like a sacred baptism you bless the greeting sand- only to flow backward and start again- your never-ending landings. Today, once more I witness your majesty. Its power takes my breath away and I feel insignificant- in your presence.
