Now and Zen

  

The obscure we see eventually.  

The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.  

~Edward R. Murrow

Structure

May you always have walls for the winds,

 a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,

laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,

 

and all your heart might desire.

~Irish Blessing

Floating By

When ideas float in our mind without any reflection or regard of the understanding,

 it is that which the French call revery, our language has scarce a name for it.  

~John Locke

I Spy

Things in the surf

Jellyfish

Still trying to figure this one out

Mussels

Seaweed

Wasting Time

Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war.  ~Loren Eiseley

Depot Bay

We love Depot Bay and the water spouts that hit the port walls never disappoint.

 

  We have yearly pictures from this same spot since 2001.

Why do we love the sea?

It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.  

~Robert Henri

What I do and what I dream
include thee,

as the wine must taste of its own grapes.
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning
