On the sea

The soul bursts with life when near the sea, why has it taken so long to return?

I've been to Big Sur several years ago with my sister on another road trip. I remember all the wildflowers everywhere bursting in bloom--every roadside, cliffside, meadow, and pasture. Returning here and seeing all the beauty as wild edibles was quite exciting. Here is an over-abundance of salad greens, begging to be picked.
