Photo for today October 11th 2011


Calcify - become inflexible and unchanging!


This stone I found on a walk at low tide around the rocks at Bonny Hills. I have looked for it again but the sea, as you are aware, constantly changes things and is buried again beneath the sands that the recent stormy weather brought with it. It reminds me of those stereo-typical 'angry old people' who hold to the past and remain in their state of confusion - looking like they sucked lemons all their lives and resenting the change that new generations bring. Better, I think, to add a little of their experiences to the change.

"We need teachers, but we mainly need teachers who are first of all living examples of what they teach".

    Look what I found under some bushes this morning, clearing out the succulent bed:



    Hello from one rock to another. *grins* Russell thought I was going mad when I pulled it out, washed it off and took a picture> " For Keith" I explained, did not make it better till I showed him your beach rock. Waves ☼☼
