Loose enough to drift. Tight enough to stay. That's about right for a life, too.
Photo by karaoil. A small wooden pier, weathered and partly broken, stands in clear shallow water above smooth stones. Beyond it a red rowboat with a white rim and blue stripe rests at its mooring, ropes coiled inside. The calm sea stretches toward a line of blue mountains, their shapes softly mirrored. The sky fades from pale blue overhead to peach and rose near the horizon. Nothing moves, and the water holds the soft light.
