Contemplating Life


Went to Jones Beach today, because it was supposed to be windy and rainy. Sounds like a great day to go to the beach, right? It was. It was windy, but not cold, and there were large waves crashing on the beach that were mesmerizing. I was standing there just watching the surf when I noticed this woman sitting on the beach alone, and she appeared to be writing. After a while she got up and went down to the water's edge and just stood there, for a long time, looking out to sea. I could imagine what it would feel like to do that.
