Earth – Ebb Then Flood

Coastal

‘Coastal’

At the coast, where the edges of earth, sea and sky meet.

Where all is peripheral, and the peripheral is all.

And I am happy to be on the margins…

‘Earthbound’

…for we all heading here together…

Five fingers, a whole handful, of toetoe plumes in the still Auckland evening.

All you can hold in the moment, and the moment is all you have.

“From one seed a whole handful: that was what it meant to say the bounty of the earth” – J.M.Coetzee

Little moments, even quiet ones, are full in themselves but are also seeds of abundance.

ripple the heavens

cast doubt on the earth

burn the blue

for all that you’re worth
