PACIFIC BOULEVARD

(Go check A CUP OF TEA WITH GOD for reference)

Just moments before A Cup of Tea with God, the energy was different. The legend was still in the water, the beach alive with quiet reverence. People watched, knowing they were witnessing something special.

But now, Bob left.

The lineup drifted back to normal, the crowd thinned, and the weight of history faded into the evening air. Tea Tree became normal again. The waves rolled in without an audience, the surfers paddled out without a second thought, and the sunset carried on as it always did.

This was the calm after the moment. The ocean, the sand, the sky—unchanged, indifferent, eternal.
