A Seat Beyond Hurry

About this piece

A weathered wooden pier extends into calm blue water, its capped pilings framing a yellow chair at the far end. Bright sunlight reveals the grain of the boards and casts crisp shadows across the walkway, while red-and-white bands punctuate the muted timber. The centered perspective draws the eye toward an almost seamless meeting of water and sky.

The story

July light settles across the boards, picking out each ridge and knot in the wood. Between the pilings, a yellow chair waits beside the open water. Small ripples loosen the reflections without disturbing the broad blue stillness. The walkway offers a simple destination: somewhere to sit while the horizon holds the eye.
