The places where sea meet land, where fluid laps solid and waves rush, murmur, ripple and roar, the liminal between places, so different from the rest of the sea, so different from the rest of the land, - Shorelines
The places where magic happens. The place where the edge of the broken wave touches land, forming the changing boundary of the sea, only to be pulled back and replaced by another.
Shorelines -
The place where magic happens.
Especially in those moments where day meets night.
When day meets night, where sea meets land - the in-between place in an in-between time - these seem to be the places and times when it is easier to step out of ourselves and just be.
To step into a flow time where all there is
is the fall of the wave, a slant of light, an ebb, a flow.
It's easy to wander, meander - but always follow the ever-changing dividing land between sea and land until swallowed by daytime or darkness.
A place of secrets. Of give and take.
Where treasures of shell, stone and seaweed are cast up, and dragged away. Where we walk upon the ground remains of countless shells that housed countless little lives, of rocks that endued over millennia.
Where we walk over time.
