the power of two



they settle, crooked and companionable, into the slope of the dike, unfolding, adjusting, balancing, and watching the endless water.
they have more yesterdays than they have tomorrows.
they have more certainties than they have doubts.
it has been a long, fine journey together, to this small remaining stretch of sea, and
they are determined to enjoy the view.

    This picture reminds me of Paul Simon's "Old Friends," especially the first lines of the song:
    Old friends,
    Old friends
    Sat on their park bench
    Like bookends.
    I really love this picture!!!

    Oh, this photo & your words made me so homesick for Alex... and also gave me warm fuzzies thinking about how wonderful it will be once he's here.
    A long, fine journey indeed.

    they seem to be looking down upon everythng they've done... and the sense of companionshipi is beautiful, particularly since it is taken with such simplicity, only from their backs...
