Jordan • HOLE ...a watering hole does not always flow with fiery spirts; it can be a place or time that refreshes the mind and fills a different thirst. TO HARBOR ISLAND ACCOM- PANIED BY FRIENDS AND PLAYFUL PORPOISES...A WALK UP WEATHERED BOARDS... EACH VISITOR TAKING THEIR OWN PATH INTO THE PAST... OPEN SOLID DOORS THAT HAVE WELCOMED GENERA- TIONS OF SAILORS...LOOK • THROUGH WINDOWS THAT HAVE PEERED ON COUNTLESS STORM-ROCKED SHIPS...A BRICK TOWER REACHING TO- WARD THE YELLOW ORB...A SPIRAL STAIRCASE CLIMBED... AT THE TOP...AN EMPTY ROUND ROOM THAT ONLY A WASP NOW HABITATES WHERE ONCE A BEACON GUIDED MEN THROUGH THE PASS...AN EAGLES VIEW OF TOWN AND CHANNEL...DOWN THROUGH DENSE TOWER AIR ...EMERGING TO GULF BREEZ- ES...A QUIET TALK ON A FRONT PORCH FILLED WITH SUNLIGHT AND SHADOW...RE- LUCTANTLY WE TROD WEA- THERED BOARDS BACK TO THE DOCK...ONE BACKWARD GLANCE AT THE LIGHTHOUSE AS WE HEAD ACROSS LYDIA ANN CHANNEL...THE THIRST
