I Sat Among Them
10/03/09: I sat among them…they didn’t seem to mind, most indifferent, some curious. They went about their business for the most part, hunting crabs, fish whatever was being served up to them by the waves. It was quite peaceful, serene and so gratifying to be sitting there watching and observing them without disruption. I sat on the rocks with my feet in the water, one in particular, seemed very interested in my red toenail polish under the water, perhaps thinking it was some sort of food?…but never did anything more than look and watch as I would move my toes. I sat there for the longest time, losing track of time, taking pictures as often as I wanted and then sometimes just sitting there in peace. It was on Pass A Grille Beach that this took place, actually about a week ago(9/25)…The beach was not crowded, which was a plus, the sun was warm, the water refreshing….what a life they have, and I got to share it with them for just a little while & I felt peace….for that I am thankful.
