Unintended Consequence
Constructed of quarried boulders, the breakwater extends across the bay for about a mile. For those willing to make the intimidating walk across, you will be rewarded with secluded beaches, two lighthouses, and the chance to observe crabs, starfish, and maybe a seal along the way.
We checked the tide chart, so not to get stranded at high tide, and began our trek. Token, a little brown rescue dog found at a New York city subway station, came along. At almost the halfway point, Token decided to return to less challenging terrain. No matter our calls, Token never looked back, never slowed. Once we arrived back at the sandy beach where the breakwater begins, Token sat happily waiting for us.

A Journey to Behold
The time had come
to embark on a journey,
to leave family and friends,
to depart the only home
you have known.
As you stand in the doorway
the rooms behind you
filled with memories
pull at your heart and mind
to remain.
There is comfort here,
the beyond unknown,
there will be no going back
once that step is taken,
the door closed.
Voices inside you call out
with doubt and with sadness,
yet there is a new voice
a singular voice, your own,
you know you must go.
The door closes
and a darkness falls over you
covers you in confusion,
but as you turn there is a light
that brightens the soul.
All that has gone before
and all that you have learned
will be with you, to guide you,
as you begin this journey –
a new life, your own.
