the pass

good day today. becky and i ferried on over to whidbey island just to have a good looksie. though the day started out fairly cloudy and a little rainy, by the time we found ourselves on the rocky beach at deception pass, i don't think the weather could have been nicer. cool, warm sun, and the water was enchanting. i don't know what it is about water that is so captivating and so calming. it's the symbol of rebirth, it's refreshing, renewing. and we couldn't quite get ourselves to leave. for a couple of hours we gazed , sat in silence, talked about life's quandries, and sat silently some more, followed by more profound thought and talk. my expectations for the day were easily surpassed, and so simply. it was just wonderful to be there. me and my friend sitting on an old rickety picknic table at deception pass.
