In nature, the passage of time is symbolized by the tides. They are the rhythm of life, eternal life, ceaselessly flowing back and forth, from age to age. Tides can give hope for the future and remembrances of the past, for they have always existed and always will. On a smaller scale tides represent the highs and lows of every individual's life. One can .. feel gladness, only when one has known sadness; one can feel fullness only when one has known emptiness. Duxbury has a unique relationship with the sea. Our coastal town witnesses daily the extreme fluctuations of the tides. The tides will always be a major part of our memories growing up on the seashore. Our hope is that the meaning of tides will be remembered by everyone, so that no matter what the future may bring, people can keep their individual lives in perspective with time and eternity and enjoy each moment to the fullest.
