A Secret Right Across the Street
I didn't have to go far to find one of my favorite spots in Bermuda. It's the trail right across the street from where I live, Spittal Pond.The walk to the cliffs takes about 5 minutes and while the trail is well marked, it's extremely quiet. It's not hidden in the sense of being hard to find, it's hidden in the sense that there is never a crowd. Which is exactly why I love it.There's a spot along the rocks where you can sit. Just you, the wind and the waves crashing below. It feels so surreal like sitting in a movie scene. I come here to clear my head with a book, or to journal, every time  telling myself I'll actually get some writing done.I never do.The waves have a way of hypnotizing you. I'll sit down meaning to read a chapter or two and instead I just watch the water crash against the rocks over and over, completely still, completely somewhere else. By the time I snap out of it, the sun's gone and it's time to walk back in the dark.
