I used to rule my world from a pay phone
Ships out on the sea
But now times are rough
I got too much stuff
I can’t explain the likes of me.
But there’s this one particular harbor
So far but yet so near
Where I see the days as they fade away
And finally disappear.
Jimmy Buffett
It’s early morning, cold and still dark. It’s not raining right now but it’s on the way, and the current is flooding hard. I just got back from a paddle and I’m sitting here with a thermos of tea, still thinking about islands.
