Reverb10.3 Waves Crashing

We are most alive when we’re in love.
(John Updike)

Reverb 10.3 - Prompt from December 3, 2010

Moment. Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors). (Ali Edwards)

Sunset Beach, NC.

Simple breeze. Warm water.

The beach was clean, the air filled with love and laughter.

He convinced me to go play in the waves. To swim into them, to dive under and let them crash over us.

We played like children. I let the water carry me away.

Those shimmering minutes. That moment. Our moment. Completely alive.
