Love and the Ocean

A writing from January:

I'm not at my window but at a window located at the seashore.  I can see the crashing waves, families on their way to  somewhere, and dogs out for a walk with their people.  It's cold out there, lotsa hoodies on up over the heads and hardly anyone is wearing flip flops!   Oh and there're bikeriders with caps on, the tight fitting knitted kind.

How lovely to hear the waves, breathe in the smells, and feel the vastness of the ocean.  As I take it all in, I wonder about the whales and the dolphins and how we are connected.    I wonder about the young couple on the footbridge outside.  He is snapping a picture of her and she's fat, swollen with a baby...new life.  Are they happy, content, afraid or thinking about the whales as I am?  Now he's striking a GQ pose looking out to sea while she snaps him.  Are they in love?  Is it forever love?  Do whales love?
