10 August






It is the end of another summer. It is time for you to leave the island too. Good-bye to clams and mussels and barnacles, to crows and swallows, gulls and owls, to sea-urchins, seals and porpoises.

It's time to reset the clocks from the rise and fall of the tide, to the come and go of the school bus.

Pack your bag and put in a few treasures - some gull feathers, a few shells, a book of pressed leaves, a piece of quartz that came from a crack in the point.

  10. Unless you live by the beach! And then you can track both the tides and the bus! :-) Sounds like a perfect combination. This is a stunning sunset shot. Love it!

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
