When my world feels too crowded, or cluttered, or busy, I try to find a place that’s simple, like the end of Long Wharf in Sag Harbor. Water, horizon, and sky; that’s all I need.
Sometimes I go in search of a quiet corner of beach, like Sunset Beach in North Haven. There’s nobody around at this time of year.
I return to these spots again and again. This afternoon I could stand the wind and cold for just a few minutes at a time, even wrapped in a big shawl. It was enough to quiet my racing brain, and I came home happy.
Did the pretty pictures distract you enough to keep you from wondering if I still knit? I do — the same socks I started the other day. I hope that I can finish them soon and move on to a few more finishes — there are more socks, a couple of scarves, and a baby sweater waiting for me to take an interest.
