meandering pearl

"A poem needs understanding through the senses...
the point of diving into the lake is not immediatley to swim to shore,
but to be in the lake,
to luxuriate in the sensation of water...
you do not work the lake out.
it is an experience beyond thought.
Poetry soothes & emboldens the soul
{to accept mystery}"
~ from the film Bright Star

i took these photos while standing on an almost deserted beach... it was stormy, foggy, & rain was sprinkling all around me...i fetched an umbrella from a dollar shop & there i stood, underneath it, in the rain, luxuriating in the ocean swells
