Walk With Me - February 9, 2021

Images and words from my walks and interactions with nature and the environment.

walking this line

a threshold between solid ground and fluid space

I notice my initial excitement - a spattering of feathery clouds across a blue sky - a dazzling sun - anticipation of the imminent glorious spectacle

but all becomes muted

disappointment take hold for a moment

how dare I be so?

and then the dogs came running

waking the sleeping child inside this thick membrane

with gifts of innocence and joy

this unspectacular-ness is perfect in its own way

like walking inside the pearly space of an oyster shell

the meeting place of land and sea can never be anything other than magnificent

in all its unique manifestations, weathers, light, moods, energies, temperatures . . .wonders . .
