Who Knew?

Grains of sand magnified 250x
Just think, this is what you're walking on at Johnson's Beach, millions of little gems underfoot. Miraculous!

MAUI SAND GRAINS ARRANGEMENT #2 This image is a handful of sand grains selected from a beach in Maui and arranged onto a black background. The colors and shapes of these tiny grains of sand are surprisingly different and astonishingly beautiful, each with it’s own individual in character

PUFFY STAR - Sand grains from Okinawa, Japan are made from the skeletons of single-celled forams that produce these beautiful little shells

Winter at the Beach

The days are short
The sun a spark
Hung thin between
The dark and dark.

Wild Geese

Wild Geese

You do not have to be good.

You do not have to walk on your knees

for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.

You only have to let the soft animal of your body

love what it loves.

Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.

Meanwhile the world goes on.

Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain

are moving across the landscapes,

over the prairies and the deep trees,

the mountains and the rivers.

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,

are heading home again.

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to your imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting 

over and over announcing your place

in the family of things.

from Dream Work by Mary Oliver

Happy Memorial Day Weekend

Moonrise over Pensacola Beach

"Hand in hand 

on the edge of the sand, 

they danced by the light of the moon."
