Walking on the beach is so calming, but something horrible hit me yesterday as I was watching the sunset... My children might not know the same ocean Ive come to love. The Gulf coast disaster is impacting the coast economy in a horrible way and its compromising the pure beauty of the ocean and its coastlines. Day by day we sat and watched the coast, hoping not to see a iridescent stain floating on top of the waves and so far this stretch of water remains untouched, but I know it wont last forever. All I can do is hope this oil doesn't leave a permanent stain on the waters that I love.
