coming to love
this life and world
and at the same time
letting it all go…

in the eye of the beholder wabi sabi

in the eye
of the beholder
wabi sabi

silent melody shape sifter the learning curve look out

dripping fog bridge works mesabi range

creating a space
in himself
that can’t be filled
     – his lengthy ritual
        seaside walks

the way water comes and goes on the beach

the way
water comes and goes
on the beach

Narragansett, nature, ocean, photography, poetry, Rhode Island, sand, Scarborough State Beach, seas, surf, tanka, tide

ambivalence
I believe is what
I’ve come to, sitting here
watching wave after wave
land itself

all across the beach the stranded still life's of the day...

all across the beach
the stranded still life’s
of the day…

light, ocean, photography, poetry, Rhode Island, Roger Wheeler State Beach, sand, seas, sunset, tanka, tide, waves

this procession
of sunset light
lapping and overlapping itself
I say very little
as the tide goes out

the last light of the day slips back to sea...

the last light
of the day
slips back to sea…

Narragansett, nature, ocean, photography, poetry, Rhode Island, sand, Scarborough State Beach, seas, tanka, time, writing

each corner rounded off
in the back and forth
along the tide line…
maybe our pettiness
will ebb away too

beach sand the element of time ground down

beach sand
the element of time
ground down

May, Narragansett, ocean, poetry, Rhode Island, sand, Scarborough State Beach, seas, spring, surf, tanka, tide, waves, writing

as waves come and go
i think over what is good
and bad in my life…
this endless folly
of me being me

the constant design and redesign at the tide line

the constant
design and redesign
at the tide line
