My purpose in starting this blog is to help others find respite in close surroundings. My focus for over 25 years was largely on solving problems for my clients. While that certainly had its benefits, I often overlooked or more importantly I didn’t appreciate the present.
As I sat in their new gazebo, I saw a “gulp” of cormorants atop buoys along the river. One, however, didn’t have one and he started to swim by each one seemingly to ask each friend for a turn and was denied. I watched as he swam around the boat seeking for his respite. Finally he reached the last one and his friend jumped off allowing him to jump on and spread his wings to dry off!
Yay I screamed out! I felt a similar rush as if I had too had achieved a success. I then realized I had. To be present at this moment and appreciate and recognize all it offered and taught me.
Pinkney Park has a weekly farmers market on Fridays from 12-4 from April to October with a lovely setting by the river for lunch.
