It was a chilly day in September: a perfect day to explore God’s beautiful creation. The ocean seemed an appealing destination. But where exactly? We didn’t want a plain old “sun and sand” beach which would probably be closed anyway, so we decided to visit the Audubon owned Eastern Point Lighthouse in Gloucester. After about an hour and a half of driving, we knew we must be close, but where was it? Gazing out over the boat speckled harbor, we searched for a lighthouse, but none could be seen. Finally we drove down a slim, lonely, yet beautiful road which took us to our destination. The glorious view was astounding. We walked out on a stony breakwater made of granite which took us about halfway out into the harbor. To our right were hundreds of boats, but to our left was open ocean. Way out in the distance you could make out the shaded skyscrapers of Boston city. What a sight. Looking just beside the breakwater’s edge, I could see a curious Cormorant. Up and down he bobbed in the stir-crazy water. Just a few yards ahead was a flock of seagulls sitting idly in the sun. As we walked past them, some of the more skittish ones fluttered away while some of the braver ones simply watched us with a cautious eye. Arriving at the end of the breakwater we turned around and walked through a field of wild flowers to the opposing side of the lighthouse. The waves crashed on the rocks with a powerful push. Bees, wasp, and hornets hummed around us and the nearby flowers constantly. The world was content, and so was I.
