Dreams in the Sand 3-23-11







Sea Brook Island, South Carolina

Arriving at the beach at sunset for a three-day weekend is a bit like being let out of class for the long recess at lunch time. It’s especially grand after a snowy winter. Being on the sand alone at sunrise is even better. Mid-day presents all sorts of interesting things to be seen and appreciated. Midnight beaches under a full moon are a sterling wonder.

Every year I join a men’s retreat in February on Sea Brook Island for three days. The opportunities for meditation, contemplation, and ‘collecting’ beauty are endless. Even great herons are co-operative as photo subjects.

Adding spice to the whole experience was an abundance of finely prepared food, shared with friends new and old.
