...Beyond the Sea



For most of my adult life, I have lived near the sea. And just knowing that I was a bike ride away from hearing the sound of waves made me feel more at home. Last month, in Niigata, I got to go down to the shore and hear the waves just once. It was a gorgeous day.

Here, in Osaka, I am not landlocked. The beautiful port city of Kobe is only an hour away by train. But it's not the same. And knowing that a brutal summer is just months away, I need to find a beach or a shore.
