Every walk here is a rebirth

The shore is an ancient world, for as long as there has been an earth and sea there has been this place of the meeting of land and water. Yet it is a world that keeps alive the sense of continuing creation and the relentless drive of life. each time that I enter it, I gain some new awareness of its beauty and its deeper meaning, sensing that intricate fabric of life by which one creature is linked with another, and each with its surroundings.
