The Point Where They Come Together and There is Nothing or Perhaps Everything.

Everyday when my dog and I go on our walks we go see the horizon; ocean and sky. Last night we went on a late walk and sat there on the beach for a while. It was a full moon so the water between myself and the moon was full of reflective life. When I looked directly south and scanned to the west, the reflections would disapate into the solid blue of the water. The sky's light also, moving away from the moon, would disapate, but at a different rate than that of the ocean. What happens then, is that there is one point on the horizon where you can't see where the ocean stops and the sky starts. That is the point in which everything or perhaps nothing happens. The point where there is space for you to fill in however you want, there is nothing else describing it.

I've noticed this point along the horizon a few times before but, it generally exist only at dusk or dawn, which is interesting, because that is also that magically blurry area between night and day.
