Out in the middle of the bay, the boat rises and falls without much effort.
Tied to the wall, I adjust the lines throughout the day.
The tide is the same.
The setting changes the work.

Kiyotaka Mizuno, Japan’s oldest man, died at 111.
His mayor described him as “a symbol of vitality and good health.”
Longevity at that level is rarely individual.
It is deeply communal.

Tankan are in season here in this remote Island, a designated World Heritage Site.
A woman came by the boat, leaving me with two bags full.
No transaction.
Just abundance shared.
Belonging often begins with proximity.
