The Limitless Deep

“The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach–waiting for a gift from the sea.”

~Anne Morrow Lindbergh

I contemplate the mysteries of the limitless deep

Wind in my hair

Feet planted firmly in the soft sand

Waiting for an answer

but the question remains unconsidered

I think I hear something

but it is lost in the roar of the surf…

~Strawberryindigo.

Thanks so much Dear Drake! 🙂

What a beautiful beach… and love the words, Strawberryindigo. Maybe our questions are answered, but we’re not listening hard enough…

Hi Cathy, I think you may be right. 🙂

Beautiful. While waiting and the question remains unconsidered, it’s not easy to lie empty, open…

Yes it is Amy. Sometimes life is just up in the air and one waits for the wind to blow one way or another.

Brilliant! Thanks for the mention… you sure reached back a couple of summers. Yearning for the next summer perhaps?

Thanks Gunta: Yes, I am yearning for warmer weather and sunshine. I am affected by all this darkness and cold. Once Spring comes I will get giddy!

Love this,Strawberryindigo. I love the photo, quotation and words of wisdom. I love the long wet zone of the beach that reflects the distant headland. Would love to know what beach this is?

Hey Kozo! Thanks so much for the kind words. The beach is on the Oregon coast near a town called Manzanita, a quaint little town and favorite spot of mine. 🙂
