Walk at the Beach

When your heart is in a dither and your mind is in a haze -
Grab your boys and go to the beach.
Listen to the birds.
Breathe the spring air.
Stretch your legs.
Smell salt and sun and flowers.
Obey your son and lower your voice to a whisper so you can hear the birds better.
Play chase.
Collect a rock. Or ten.
Pet a pussy willow.

Oh the things a half hour at the beach can do for you.
