Well said and needed to be said!

I live just off a pond that is used for fishing and water skiing and a little sailing. I spent the night out there with all the houses twinkling lights reflecting. There was not a breath of air. I loved the notion that many might be forever looking out there windows wondering, "what's he doing", and as I put up my night cover, "is he really spending the night out there?"

What they miss is the beauty of the sparking lights, the beauty of the full moon coming over the trees and the fact that no one can touch me, I am alone, but not. They miss all the sounds I hear from 360 degrees. They miss the fact that the Canadian geese fly ever more closer because this is their night home. Hearing the wind over their wings as they go by mast high is something to take in. Oh, I did have my 7 year old grandson with me playing Shut the Box on the rear thwart as the light dwindled. Time stops, expectations stop and a new definition of peace is defined.
