Take a Walk With Me (Part 1): A Story from the Ocean Pier
The afternoon begins the way all peaceful afternoons do - quiet, gentle, and full of small promises. The sun stretching itself across as you step onto the pier, its boards freshly warm from the noon light. A soft breeze carries the scent of salt and seaweed, and for a moment, the world feels simple again.
You take your first step forward, and the ocean greets you with the hush of rolling waves beneath your feet.
Where the Sea Meets Stillness
There’s a kind of magic in the way the pier rises above the water, as if offering a bridge between everyday life and something slower, calmer, and more patient. Here, worries seem to untangle themselves and drift away with the tide.
Boats sway gently in their slips - red, blue, white - each one rocking as if breathing in time with the sea. Farther out, a ship glides across the horizon, silent and steady. Above, a helicopter hums for a moment before fading into the sky, leaving behind nothing but the soft cries of seabirds.
You keep walking. You’re not in a hurry. No one ever is on afternoons like this.
The Secret Life Beneath the Boards
Leaning over the railing, you peer into the water. It’s clearer than it looks from afar - so clear that shadows move easily beneath the surface. Fish scatter like quicksilver, darting between ribbons of seaweed that sway with the tide’s slow pulse.
Then you see them - jellyfish, drifting like ghostly lanterns.
They move with a grace that seems almost otherworldly. Their soft bodies pulse gently, catching the light in hues of blue and red. It’s a small scene, but it captures you completely. In that moment, you’re reminded that the ocean holds entire worlds we rarely notice.
Some water birds diving down and under the pier, circling the ocean water looking for it's next meal. They disappear beyond the pier’s edge, yet a glimpse was enough to appreciate these creatures.
A Walk That Becomes a Memory
You continue forward, letting your steps fall into rhythm with the water. Planks underfoot, the sun feels a little warmer, and the air a little fresher. The ocean sparkles with shifting shades of blue and silver.
You stop at the end of the pier and close your eyes, letting the breeze brush your face and the distant sounds of boats, birds, and waves blend into their own quiet symphony.
For a moment, everything is still.
And So the Walk Continues...
When you finally turn to make your way back, you know you’ll return. Not just to the pier, but to this feeling - the gentle reminder that peace can be found in the simplest of places.
This is only the first walk. There are more tides to meet, more stories to discover, and more moments waiting along the coastline.
Part 2 isn’t far away.
And when it comes, the ocean will be ready to welcome you back.
