I turn toward the surf club and am struck by the scene. I regret for a moment that I left my camera behind, but quickly realise its absence allows me perfect presence with my experience. I breathe it in. The sun is rising, casting an eerie glow on the horizon behind two punctuating palm trees.

Salt
Even though I have yet to perform the act (in this life at least), it feels familiar, like I have done it a thousand times before.
