I also walked upon this sand and foam last year, but I forgot to mention it. I had my hands full at something else I guess! What can I say, It was beautiful and pristine!
A few lines from the text, I hope you appreciate them…
“I am forever walking upon these shores,
Betwixt the sand and the foam,
The high tide will erase my foot-prints,
And the wind will blow away the foam.
But the sea and the Shore will remain
Forever.
Once I filled my hand with mist.
Then I opened it and lo the mist was a worm.
And I closed and opened my hand again, and behold
there was a bird.
And again I closed and opened my hand, and in its
hollow stood a man with a sad face, turned upward.
And again I closed my hand and when I opened it
there was naught but mist.”
“Half of what I say is meaningless but I say it so that the other half may reach you.”
“If Winter says, “spring is in my heart,” who would believe winter?”
“They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold;
and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.”
“Perhaps the sea’s definition of a shell is the Pearl.
Perhaps time’s definition of coal is the Diamond.”
I found that the sand was glossy and the foam was lustrous.
Each and every line of this book was a sort of sorcery for me. Aren’t they?
