Day 11: Cyrus and the Ocean


  In the midst of all of this turmoil- driving around Florida to find a boat, the logistics of moving our home from location to location, the difficulties of fixing the boat, routine out the window- the ocean has been a calm constant. Our daily visits to the ocean are therapeutic for the entire family, but the ocean is something very special for Cyrus.

  When Cyrus was three, we drove from San Francisco to Mendocino and introduced Cyrus to the Pacific. Within 30 seconds of seeing the ocean, Cyrus was half naked with a giant smile on his face, chasing the waves.  The utter joy and abandon we saw in Cyrus four years ago was repeated in San Diego, Rockport and again in Florida.  Cyrus is in his element in the ocean.  As a Virgo- an earth sign- maybe he is drawn to the ocean.  When I see him in the surf, I can't help but think if all else fails, at least we brought Cyrus to his bliss. He will be a professional surfer (doctor/human rights lawyer) - I'm sure of it.
