Endless Sea


We are in the middle of the sea. After pedaling for so long, we are too tired to go around trying to figure out where we are. We lay back and watch the horizon. It is an amazing view--huge beach houses on one side and on the other is an open ocean, and in a spot very far away we can see Qatar’s mini Manhattan. It is very relaxing to our eyes.

My friend and I can’t stop laughing in the beginning; we are all alone, late at night sitting in a canoe and too tired to go find our way back. But then, when we start noticing our surroundings both of us just gaze away. A jet ski passes by which ruins our moment and makes huge waves as he was passes, we think we are going to flip for a second. The canoe stops moving so we just gaze away again; I watch blurry lights everywhere, due to my weak eyesight. Maha, my friend always talks about her emotions and how she feels about the place.

Calm waters, and only a small hiss of wind. It felt comforting being in a huge open space all alone. It is so quiet I can hear Maha thinking.

Being on a canoe late at night is something I have never done before. It is very relaxing and you can go back and think about everything when you are all alone on the dark sea.
