    Kayaking through the Arch at Goat Rock

    I enjoy cursing at my close friends.
    Rock on...



    And now this spell was snapt: once more  
     I viewed the ocean green,  
     And look'd far forth, yet little saw  
     Of what had else been seen—  
     
     Like one that on a lonesome road  
     Doth walk in fear and dread,  
     And having once turn'd round, walks on,  
     And turns no more his head;  
     Because he knows a frightful fiend  
     Doth close behind him tread.  
     
     But soon there breathed a wind on me,  
     Nor sound nor motion made:  
     Its path was not upon the sea,  
     In ripple or in shade.  
     
     It raised my hair, it fann'd my cheek  
     Like a meadow-gale of spring—  
     It mingled strangely with my fears,  
     Yet it felt like a welcoming.

     

    -Excerpt from Rime of the Ancient Mariner, a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
