I love being with my Sis--but when I saw the rocky coast of Newport, this venerable old seaport, after you drive past the sprawling mansions and over to the craggy edge, I wished Dan, Figgy and Punch--even Sug--had been with us, too.
Seeing nature in its most remarkable state is a memory, a compass point. I loved witnessing it with Sis and Buttercup, don't get me wrong. But feeling small next to the water, knowing that life changes and tides turn, and a coast can be awe-inspiring for a visitor but treacherous for a boat.....I guess I wanted to be at that compass point with all of the people closest to me, including Sis. I wanted us all to see that wonder together, not just to shoulder through everyday life making coffee, waking to alarms, packing lunches, sharpening pencils, doing homework....I wanted us to see that striking beauty together.
I'm tired. Good night.
