We are getting older. The hustle and bustle are gradually slowing. On occasion there is now time to sit beside the ocean, listen to the water, and just think. I still spend a too much time thinking of the cares and concerns of this world while reminding myself to stop. If only for a little while. For better or worse, as I get older, it will become easier to just let go, and lay down my burden on the edge of the Pacific in the cool fall breeze of Victoria.
