Nhà tôi ngay cạnh dòng kênh Nhiêu Lộc, mỗi ngày đi qua dòng nước mát lành trong vời vợi, cảm giác như trở lại ngày xưa, thèm biết bao được trốn học đi chơi.
Dòng kênh chứng kiến bao cuộc đổi đời của từng phận người, từng vùng đất ấy dường như mình đã thuộc nằm lòng từng mảng cỏ xanh, từng quán cóc bên đường mỗi chiều thả bước dạo chơi.
Vậy mà hôm nay, tôi và các con mình chợt bắt gặp một vẻ đẹp khác của Sài Gòn khi được thả hồn trên chiếc du thuyền ngắm hoàng hôn. Cảm giác như mình đang ở một cảnh giới khác, một ánh sáng khác, một làn gió khác.
