Today, on the Weekend Read, writer and artist Sarah Walker with her piece, “Little Breaks”, from The Monthly.

It’s a story of joy and sadness in the ocean. 

She writes of her time in the water as a beginner surfer, finding glee in shallow breaks. 

But beyond the break, in the deeper water, there’s also loneliness, isolation and vulnerability.
