Opinions
Surrounding the blue water along the California coast, the ridge overlooks the misty swirl, the sea’s rocky temperament, calm and full of turmoil, waves that crash the jetty, shaking boats in the harbor
Its summit can see far and wide, a patient observer, strong and certain, unbending and steadfast, unlike the mysterious sea that changes on a whim, the mountain is the ocean’s perfect complement.
