The thin line

Crane Beach, MA (Aug 25, 2007)

How can the same place be so crowded and so empty? With the thin line of the horizon, dividing the solitude of the empty beach just reclaimed by the tide, battered by the wind carrying dry white sand like frosting sugar, from the entire human society gathered under the setting sun. Sometimes we like walking along this line, without crossing it, looking both sides and trying not to fall.
