On the Boardwalk
There is nothing so throughly sublime as standing on a boardwalk in
front of the Gulf of Mexico, watching as the sun, in it's last hurrah of the day sprays the clouds, the waves and the distant ships with amber light. Yesterday, Karim and I went to Kemah to spend the afternoon together. It's been a long time since we'd had an outing due to our enormous mounds of work and conflicting schedules. We walked hand in hand, smiling at the children as they 
discovered the rides in the amusement park. We sat on a bench or two observing how low the pelicans fly over the water to ease their landing on the dock. We laughed at the seagulls bickering with one another over pieces of bread a group of small children was throwing out to them. Each moment that passed was a treasure of discovery, love, and completeness. Nothing soothes the soul like the sea.
