Once again we were reminded of the meaning of “Serenity.” A hand-painted, driftwood sign that greets us each time we make the 5-mile trip down the beach at low tide and arrive at New Dungeness Light Station, beams “Welcome to Serenity.” A second, similar sign pointing in the direction from which we just came says “Reality.” If perhaps a bit clichéd, this humorous greeting conveys a meaningful truth. If you haven’t spent a week in this difficult to access place near the end of a long sand spit in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, you may underestimate the value of “serene.”
