在依帕內瑪的海岸後8區附近，我們放好了陽傘和沙灘椅並用大大的浴巾標注了自己的勢力範圍。我抱出了Proudie 和 Lurkie 讓他們享受巴西的日光浴。
我順著沙灘散步，沙滑過我的腳趾，癢癢的喚醒我的感覺。它們軟得像羽毛卻又如此有力，能夠支撐陽傘的挺立，為那些不想被曬得炭黑的人提供遮擋。
在海浪線，女人和孩子們驚恐地站在那裏等著躲避隆隆沖過沙灘的海浪。他們能夠抵擋這次衝擊走得更深遠嗎？或者等著用兩次海浪之間的漣漪相互潑水嬉戲？
孩子們在水灑在他們靈巧的身體上時歡叫著，他們高興地跳著，想要擊垮一個個海浪。又傳來一聲尖叫，但這次是吃驚的叫聲——女人們吃驚於水的冰冷，而大海的力量幾乎把她們的比基尼從胸部隆起的矽膠處脫掉。
又是一波海浪襲來，像其他那些膽小的女人一樣，我走回了沙灘。
吮了幾口椰汁，我拍了一張Timmie在書下打鼾的照片，又把Lurkie擺作枕頭枕好，閉上了眼睛。

It’s titled “Desktop playground: Transitional objects at play for everyday creativity in the workplace.” I interviewed executives about how…
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” George Bernard Shaw I brought up the dilemma I had on stubbornness versus confidence with one of my professors during my psychology course. He drew on the…
