It’s been a few years since I was here, but I loved Monterey. The sand was almost as soft and white as the Caribbean, even though the water was colder. And the sea lions! And the jellyfish at the aquarium! And the man without a nose! Good times…
Monterey, California.

Today’s guest poet: Sara Teasdale
I Have Loved Hours at Sea
I have loved hours at sea, gray cities,
The fragile secret of a flower,
Music, the making of a poem
That gave me heaven for an hour;
First stars above a snowy hill,
Voices of people kindly and wise,
And the great look of love, long hidden,
Found at last in meeting eyes.
I have loved much and been loved deeply —
Oh, when my spirit’s fire burns low,
Leave me the darkness and the stillness,
I shall be tired and glad to go.
