To Begin, Begin…

We walked along the boardwalk, me and the dog.

The boardwalk, although only recently completed already feels familiar and comforting. It’s composite boards reaching out in front of us, cutting a course through the reeds and the sea rush. There was a calm in the world, a calm in myself. I could have walked that boardwalk for hours.

I felt connected to the past, not my own as such, an idyllic, fictional past. I was grateful for my four legged friend, I’d not have left the house yet if it wasn’t for him, I gave him a little dog treat from my pocket to say thank you.
