Newport

At the end of August I drove to Providence with my best friend and stayed a short while.  It was rainy the entire time, even this day, but we drove to Newport and found a vista and parked the car and got out and a blue sky suddenly peeked out just enough to remind me how long it had been since I'd taken a deep breath.  I felt exceedingly out of place in the town, but exceptionally in place in the shallows on the rocks covered in sea plants and the teeniest baby mussels and the laziest hermit crabs in the whole world.
