The Season By Paxton Willis
Oh the season. We all have our definition of “Season.” Those of you who
may lay your eyes on this little soliloquy probably define it just as I do, or
at least something close. Let’s explore this concept a little further though,
let’s step outside of ourselves and discover another perspective.
To us, the season, just like the tide, is an axiom. We know when it’s
coming in, we know when it’s going out, it’s the Circadian rhythm of
Tybee, to scale. Whether you’re in the service industry, vacation home
renting, kayak touring, tee shirt spray painting, bicycle renting, turn your
yard into parking space…ing, we know that this time of year is our most
lucrative. It doesn’t define us, but it’s our process.
Like little squirrels we toil and hustle while the sun is shining, we stash
our acorns and prepare for the impending winter. Personal relationships
may suffer in the interim, but when we all reconvene, when we find
ourselves again, when we return to our intimacy with each other, the sun
sets, and we all reflect together. We re-discover our comradery, and it
unifies us all, even if we don’t realize it.
This isn’t anything new to us though, it’s our life, and it’s not a bad one,
everything considered. While we’re afforded the opportunity to live here
year round, our home is a place that most people view as their getaway.
To some, our little town is an escape from a structured, rigid, mundane
day-to-day struggle. Our little town is the reward of their work - the
tangible, physical, provable manifestation of being an honest person who
just needs to facilitate an escape for themselves and their family. They
find peace in that, they find a motivation in knowing that they will be
rewarded with a day or two of sitting on the beach, eating somewhere
besides Chili’s, meeting genuine people, and escaping their norm. We
welcome that, we all understand them on a basic level, they remind us
of how good we have it, and we remind them that value exists outside of
their comfortable construct.
It’s a beautiful exchange.
