Sand, ocean breezes, life and death Driving across the desert, I now realize that there is a serene, stark beauty that I hadn't seen before. I passed by a crematorium/mortuary and somehow the epiphany of dust to dust made more of an impact. Crossing the lower end of Death Valley, I saw various houses and businesses that just hadn't made it, and I saw the desert reclaiming the land they shortly inhabited. The wind and dust scours the brightness, leaving only timbers, and skeletons of the houses and signs that once fought against the constant dryness. But the desert isn't without life ... I looked at the cliffs and rocks, seeing the edges of the inland sea that once was there. I still see the plants that must consume some water from either sky or sand. But then, strangely, coming out of the desert, I see the vastness of the ocean. The same endless vision -- one of red dust, the other of blue water. Both unable to sustain humanity on their own. Leaving me, musing on the sand, at the edge of where they meet each other. |

I love the ocean, one of my best thought or dream is being far out to sea on a calm sea, with a full moon so you can see for all around you, the only wake is what the ship is making.
