I turned east today on my beach walk, a direction I seldom take as it is more manufactured park
than natural beach but it does lead to better things if one perseveres.
I walked on the Boardwalk which is neither board nor do many actually walk.
I was passed by many joggers puffing their way to their eventual knee and hip surgeries.
Decked out in the latest spandex, wires dangling from their ears, sucking water bottles and
grimacing with effort while checking their pulse.
Why are you here?
Did you not see the flowers, do you not feel the wonder of the woods?
Did you not see the Great Blue Heron standing in the shallows?
Did you see the Girl in the Tree?
