I had the joy of the group planning a special outing to the Spanish Inn on Pebble Beach – the highlight was waiting for the surprise. As I listened, I heard the remarkable sound of the bagpiper. Seems it’s a nightly ritual, but for me and this experience – to smell the salt water, to see the immaculate course, to be with friends smiling as the sun was settling into the lower parts of the sky and hear this soulful engagement… what a gift.
