hey no fair posting your morning walks at midnight!:)
nice words and thoughts; as I move from my home next to the Mystic River to a few blocks from the Charles River, I realize the peace I feel walking along water, night and day, in all seasons, will now change; for one thing there will be more people around...and for another, walking alongside the Charles at night is not too smart. I loved walking home nights by the Mystic, especially in winter, the moonlight through the oaks and shining on the water...silence and wind.
Still it is a healing and happy thing, a walk beside the river, any river. It is friendly and alive in ways the ocean is not.
