Do you remember Otis Redding’s 1960’s song?
Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun
I’ll be sittin’ when the evenin’ comes
Watchin’ the ships roll in
Then I watch ’em roll away again
I’ll be sittin’ when the evenin’ comes
Watchin’ the ships roll in
Then I watch ’em roll away again
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Watchin’ the tide, roll away
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time
Watchin’ the tide, roll away
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time
These pelicans sitting on a pier in Pass Christian, Mississippi remind me of that song.
The small feathered clouds flying across the sky in geese-like formation, look like angels rushing to meet the dawn.

Even cloudy days look better, when we see them from another perspective.
The tranquil blue ocean
The smell of salt
The island breeze rustling
tall palms
It all feels like home.
The sun’s after glow paints the ocean and beach with golden hues at the conclusion of a fun day in Nassau, Bahamas.

At the close of day, the sun looks back and casts a golden glow over the past and promises a golden future to those whose hope dares pierce the dark hours of the coming night. – R. Steven Norman, III
Every rushing, pounding wave touches the shore for a moment
and then turns to suds and slips back out to sea.
Every eager young generation races to supplant the preceding generation,
only to be overcome by the relentless pull of time into the bosom of eternity.

Gleaming power lines suggest the light that they carry to brighten our bedrooms, power our kitchen appliances, and keep our wi-fi on.
