There are people in your life who are more themselves when their usual partner is out of the room. There are rooms that are more themselves when the light has been off for an hour. There are conversations that are more themselves once the loud one has left. Twice a day, for half an hour, the sea steps back from the beach and the rest of the picture shows up. The sea is back by morning. The picture is for whoever was there.
A lone rock at low tide on wet sand. The water has gone out and the colour of the sky is doing all the work on the surface. Pink and violet, on the sand and on the rock. By morning the sea will be back. Nobody arranged any of this.
Reads alongside To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, The Outrun by Amy Liptrot, or any book read on an evening when you needed things to stay where they were yesterday.
There are a few minutes after sunrise and a few before sunset when the sky stops being a sky and becomes a wash of colour. The light is no longer pointing at anything. The contrast disappears. The air seems to hold its breath. You are at the window with a coffee or at the edge of a beach with damp feet, and you do not move for a while, because you know how short these minutes are and how long the rest of the day is.
