I live in front of a beach on the East Coast US. So far, we have had a pretty mild winter, with a good amount of rain. But, rainy days are special when you live so close to nature.

On a walk on the beach the morning after a rain, you see all the new shells, fish, etc and the seagulls enjoying their post-storm feast. The beach fills with life and nature. Beyond that, the air is crisp, full of the ocean. The skies are muted and grey... the light diffuse.. the breeze full of water. And, to walk through this is what I have come to understand as a "clean" feeling and experience. It is a smell and feeling that people know when they've lived near an ocean.

So, I called this piece "Clean".
