The sand glisten ivory. Water laps gently on the shore. Trees sway lazily, throwing merry shadows on the ground. The smell of the sea and the sweet scent of pine invigorates the air. The light blue of the sky complements the aquamarine blue of the ocean.
Here, time stands still. A man sits with his dog enjoying the moment. I stand still watching him, wondering . . . then I smile. The scene spells contentment . . . nostalgia . . . soul-searching . . .
I linger too long watching . . . I've intruded enough into his private moment . . . Slowly, a little guiltily, a little regretfully, I walk away . . .
I smile again, feeling like someone just gave me a warm, heartfelt hug . . . my soul renewed . . . clean and fresh . . .
