Alone between the sea and the forest.
Alone, that is, except for the Canada geese I chase away from the beach, the seagull babies I'm trying not to chase away, a rare bird I'm trying to identify, and too many mosquitoes.
There is deep silence here in the middle of nowhere. But not a complete silence. There are the sounds of the sea, the birds, the rain on the roof. There are also faraway sounds of other people further down the coast, and the hum of my laptop. Maybe the silence is inside me.
I have a bad back and a cynical mind. I am less flexible than before, in body and spirit. But I may be happier.
