    Sigh. So beautiful, words and photo......it reminds me of an environmental activist friend of mine telling us "Mother Earth feels your pain - but she needs to feel your joy, too."

    Lovely, just lovely. I never feel more at home than by the sea, and you captured the feeling well.

    Perfect in its simplicity. This poem is like a small, beautiful shell you find while walking along the beach. :)

    I grew up on the prairies of Kansas, so I feel at home among the winds too!
