The Maldives, at low tide.
Low tide at Kunfunadhoo happens quietly. The water does not roll back so much as slip away — a receding hush that turns the lagoon from glass to sand over the course of an hour. You can walk, for a while, to places that were ocean forty minutes ago.
I went to the Maldives with the intention of writing nothing. Eighteen minutes by seaplane, then a week of notebooks kept deliberately empty. The answer, mostly, is: it works. Not the way you think.
