This summer a cooled start to the season and fewer tourists. My mind's been conjuring a spacious, calm quality that has felt like memory but not of other people or specific incidents.
I've always enjoyed solitary walks and often wind up at the water's edge. When I find a spot near the sea, where there are no people sounds, I sometimes make a little telescope with my hand, a peep hole like what they say to use when looking at a solar eclipse. I look through it thinking if I'd stood here 10,000 years ago it would've looked just the same.
I've been surprised all this summer by an accompanying sensation of recollection.
