There was an old woman!



There was an old woman

Who went to the beach

Her granddaughter Sigrid 

Believed she could teach

Her how to relax 

Just listen to the waves

Before coming to the end of her days.

I can see I like the sound of waves. 🌊 It is monotonous. I like monotony. Doing the same thing, at the same time and repeat is joy to me. It’s stability. It’s a known future. 

The rest of the crew are off on an adventure but I’m happy here doing nothing but what I choose.

I love the sound of the waves and watching them time after time...soothing. The Gulf is much gentler than the Pacific where the waves roar in so loud you cannot hear another person talk. So glad you got to go on a trip!! Have a blast being the old woman near the sea/gulf:)

I'm with you. There's something so timeless and calming about the monotony and rhythm of the waves. I love going to the ocean! (even though it's usually cold here)
