In the early, early morning the ferry whistle blows in the distance. It drifts over the water, floats down the street and dances over the trees. It is remarkable how this sound navigates so much in order to arrive in your ear at this perfect moment, before the hustle and the bustle have had their way with the day.

But let us not speak of that yet. For now it is just you and the faint whisper of departure, or is it arrival. No matter, really, whether this sound reflects a coming or going, because you are here, right now, and it is a gift to linger over and then give away.
