Low tide. Scattered rocks wear weedy jackets to shield sea life from the drying air and in the far distance, clouds leak a fine mist of rain as if to cool the heat of a setting sun. It is a joy to be here - on this beach, at this moment that has taken the universe billions of years to unfold by blowing up stars, recycling the leftovers into the wonder that is here and to take it in, made me.
