longing

“The restlessness and the longing, like the longing that is in the whistle of a faraway train. Except that the longing isn't really in the whistle—it is in you.”

― Meindert DeJong, The Little Cow and the Turtle

I watch two scuba divers come to the surface of the tiny inlet and wonder what sights they might have had privy to below the surface of the water.
I walk among the weeds looking for signs of fall, and stop on my way out on the train tracks to take a photo.

My longing for beauty keenly satisfied, as dusk falls on this beautiful fall day.
