THE EMPTY CHAIR & DISGUISED TEARS

.
Only had time for a quick one-piss-in-the-suit session on the way to work— suit up in a frenzy, run mach-speed across the sand, paddle hard, take a leak, luck into a fair share of waves in just minutes, then rush out.
.
Exiting the water I witnessed a group of people helping a "disabled" man put every thing he had into each slow, short, fatigued step down the sand bank toward the surf.
.
A few tears made it past my effort to hold them back, but no one could see them. They were disguised by my surf wet face.
.
.
Even with all the help exiting the surf, his legs gave out a few times landing him in the water, but he kept at it.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

.
Though thoughtless littering will always unnerve me... the next time I get bent into a scrouge mood over things as relatively minor as Summer crowds, Blackball, etc., I'll do my best to remind myself of Wayne's unfettered stoke this morning.
