  • Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach – waiting for a gift from the sea. Excerpt from Gifts from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

    For my Mom, who loves this book, and the sea.

  • Yes, Yes, Yes, I love the sea- but how hard to lie empty- life’s challenge.

  • Oh that is stunning!

  • Such rich colors! I love the ‘sea’. Although here it’s the ‘ocean’. Funny how that is. We haven’t spent much time there this summer. I have not heard of that book. I must look it up.

  • Yes, one should. It’s wonderful when one does.

  • gorgeous… even living at its very edge, i never tire of the sea.

    beautiful images, beautiful words. i’ve subscribed to give myself a daily dose of beauty, to combat the crap and negativity that is so easy to absorb just by walking down the street.

    thank you. (and thanks for stopping by…)

  • I like it.  I’m going to try to lie open tonight.

  • Yes, but the right person oil the gears fo release.

  • i’d like the ocean more, if it weren’t so damned noisy.

  • I love watching the waves come in :)

    lovely pic and the quote has started me thinking

    Maybe I should look for that book

  • This expresses exactly how I’ve been feeling when I throw the watch off.  Montreal is amazing.  I was there in July (probably just missed you by a couple of weeks!) and that is exactly when the whole pursuit of timelessness began.  What an interesting coincidence.  =)

  • There is something in the earthmother pulse of the waves.

  • I love that photo!  Perfect !  @-}-}—

  • its postcard-esque.  beautious.

  • I’ve never read that book, but I also love the sea…  I hope I never have to live far from it, but I’m not going to count on that…

    (and… what’s the PhotoShop trick?  *leans in for the whisper*  )

  • hehe…sounds like somebody is calling you out for photoshop-in’…the hues are amazingly deep, and a wonderful contrast…very soothing

  • That’s one of my favorite books.  I’ve given it to several women friends.  I wish I could jump into your picture right now.  I’m sitting here with a fan on me, and still perspiring!  Yuk.

  • hmm…what a beautiful thought…I’m planning to move away from the big, crowded city I live in to a smaller town near the sea… How welcome your photo is!

  • Lovely picture, and intriguing thought.  Thank you – and thanks for dropping by.

  • Wonderful photo.  It almost seems alive.  I love the sea too…the sound, the smell and cool breeze.

  • fantastic colour and light here hun….I miss summer *sob*

  • wouldn’t it be beautiful if we could be… open and choiceless? to be led by a force far greater than us and not be worried where it will take us…

    lovely thought. maybe it will be attainable..

    thank you for your unwavering comfort..

  • ahh the sea..so soothing..so inspiring

  • Oh, how absolutely lovely. The saturation in the colors is amazing!

  • Your presence on my site leaves such peaceful energy.  Thank You

    Love and Light

  • When I was in college, several of my friends read Gift from the Sea and loved it. I tried to read it – wanted to read it – but just could not get into it. I wonder if I could now.
