Down the Shore - How To Live at The Beach

By Sandy Gingras. It’s a little book with big impact, and like the perfect seashell, is pure buried treasure. ...Her book, like the beach, offers us a chance for renewal.”

EXCERPT
“Simplicity is an unbuttoning of what we’ve learned to wear as a self—a looser fit, a softer fabric. It’s like a step we’ve forgetten how to dance, a native language we’ve forgotten how to speak in a rushy complex world. We know that simplicity is within us and within our grasp.”
We want to elongate the days, distill the memories, make them last. At the same time, we know that the beauty is in the evanescence ...
Every wave comes in, then retreats. Every day promises, then turns its back and slips away. Every joy has a little tease in it, a give and a take, and leaves a wake of longing.”
