I imagine siblings, young lovers, newlyweds, and those precious couples who are celebrating 60 years together all sitting on that bench, holding hands, their hair whipping in the seashore wind, and salt slowly accumulating on their skin, in a race with sunburn to see which does more damage first. I sit and share their peace and I smile.
