On a ferry

moment-on-a-ferry

In the weariness of world violence, in the endless distractions and faux-fascinations that seek to shred your soul and bury your spirit, there comes something as simple and blithely wonderful as a moment on a ferry: a young man polishing the Spirit of Vancouver Island’s brass bell with easy patience, a woman with magnificent flying purple-tinged hair looking out over Galiano Island, standing silent with a friend.
