I recently passed my "sail check" so that I can rent sailboats from the Duxbury Bay Maritime School in Duxbury, Mass. On this day, I brought my watercolor paint set and sketchbook.
Along the edge of the marsh, a tern splashed into the water, flying away with a fish. Meanwhile, I splashed my brush into the ocean for water to paint with.
As I tacked back and forth working with the wind, I alternated between painting with my left and right hands.
The sights, the sounds, the sensations, the creating and the sailing all brought me into the precious now.
Need I explain how much I love summer?
