Clifford: Muizenberg

Some of my most iconic memories are of oceans. Feeling ocean breezes touch my face and tousle my hair, exploring rock pools with waving anemones touched by tides, tiny fish swimming through my fingers, sitting on rocks as waves crash around them, watching electrical storms light up dark seas, anchored ships from far away lands, feeling the power of the ocean directly on my body, surfing with dolphins, whales performing incredible acrobatics, feeling sand squeeze between my toes, and views, magnificent views of the watery beauty of my home, the tiny pale blue dot pictured by Voyager 1 on February 14th, Valentine’s Day, in 1990, from 6.4 billion kilometres away as it moved beyond the fringes of our solar system.
