During
the day I sit there , read newspapers, magazines, books while looking
at passing boats, feeling the sun on my body and now and then
conversing with a neighbor passing by.
At night it is another
story as The Point is dark except for the nights it is lit by a full
moon. The stars sparkle playing hide and seek in the clouds and the
city lights across the bay look like large diamonds.
It is a time
to sit, reflect, think of others, reminisce about the good things from
the past and people who have been, or are, in your life.
This
afternoon I spent about an hour and a half there just taking a picture
now and then as a boat passed by. There were a group of kids taking
turns on on a rubber raft and being pulled behind a boat. There was one
boat with a couple who had a dog but I messed up as the pole is hiding
most of him.
These were people who, if only for an afternooon,
forgot about the economic crises, unemployment, mortgage payments, the
world outside of boats, water, sun, wind and relaxation.
