You know that walk on the beach under a cloudy sunset, the sea mist landing soft on your face, the Gulf breaking against the shore like a melody made just for whatever you're carrying that day. You keep walking and somewhere in there you disconnect from all the noise, and when you come back to yourself you almost can't believe you already passed this spot.
That's what happens to me out here, when I start connecting with the thing I love doing. These gulls were resting on the pilings and I envied how still they were. And I thought, it only takes one piling to find peace. One simple piling, where you sit with the solitude, the silence, and the gratitude of being alive in that moment.
Naples, cloudy afternoon.
