Walk the Beach

....to find a treasure.
To exercise the limbs,
to soothe the soul.

To praise God and to admire
His Handiwork.
To marvel at the birds that play
agains the sky
and clouds.

To watch the waves as they dance
their way over and around the rocks.
To feel the sun and the wind pressed
against my face and to run from the
foam grasping for my feet.

To think...to reflect.
To see a million years of
conflict and realize that life is as simple as....
'The Land And The Sea'.

"At first, the tired body takes over completely.
As on shipboard, one decends into a deck-chair apathy.
One is forced against one's mind, against all
tidy resolutions, back into the primeval rhythms
of the sea-shore. Rollers on the beach,
wind in the pines, the slow flapping
of herons across sand dunes, drown out
the hectic rhythms of city and suburb,
time tables and schedules...
One becomes flat, like the element on which one lies,
flattened by the sea; bare, open,
empty as the beach...."

I am a part of Nature

I am a part of everything that lives.
I am bound together with all living things
in air, in land, in water.
My life depends upon Nature--
Upon its balance, upon its resources,
To destroy them is to destroy myself.
As a member of the human race
I am responsible for its survival.
I am a part of Nature. I will not destroy it
(Henry Gibson)

To walk hand in hand with nature
and draw upon its energy...
which is never-ending and as
constant as the stars.
And no matter how far apart
my visits might measure...
I am always free to renew an
old acquaintance with
myself. (Peter Dueber)

There are more shells to find.
This is only the beginning."
