Love of hiking and the sea comes alive with beach art for me. Little Whale Cove reveals treasures from the sea… See the tiny pebbles, agates and shells hidden from eyes view…

When Covid19 stopped all of us in our tracks like no other time. It was mother nature that soothed my soul.

It was time for reflection deep in my soul. It was after too many decades in the fast lanes, too many lanes to count. I didn’t know the meaning of living in the moment until then, in that moment…

What happened to my life? I asked my self in these moments of reflection. What happened to all those years of racing without true reflection?

Living in the moment seemed a stranger to me until then, in that moment… I think there was a peaceful feeling like that, maybe, a few times. Fleeting moments that scared me with love and kindness I didn’t know before…

Peace of mind beckoned me ever since those rare moments of feeling safe to love… I never felt free until experiencing those rare moments of true love. Fleeting, and surreal moments of joy they were…

Will my soul ever be worthy? This would be the question for me to answer some day, some where, some moment…

Meeting my friend of ‘mindful peace and love’ is a most welcome sign. The long long wait was worth every moment to me. I know this now from deep in my soul…

Beachcombing on my favorite beach in Little Whale Cove was different from the past. The tiny pebbles and agates appeared with bright distinction. I wasn’t looking closely enough until now.

Can you see the tiny pebbles, shells and agates? Look closer for the hidden treasures never seen before…

It was the old drift bark from fallen trees that drew me in. I imagined tiny pebbles, shells and agates on the redwood bark surface.

Beach art came to me then as a welcome surprise. I felt free to feel my soul in this moment. Finally, in this moment, the spirits Ied the way in showing me secrets of the sea…
