Series: Serenity with a side order of pebbles...

It’s a moment in time.

Head tipped back,

face hot in the sun,

pebbles underfoot

ankle deep in cool, silky water.

Breathe deep.

Know that for this moment

you are exactly where you are meant to be.

What's this series about?

The image of pebbles in water describes for me a perfect moment in time when I am totally grounded in my body and know I am a single small part of the world I live in.

Pebbles also

speak to me of time. The smallest pebble was here long before me and will continue in some form after I am gone. The planet which took so long to make, should be protected and its resources not squandered.

and like a full circle

Pebbles in water loop back to tides and to flowers. Around us things both change and remain the same. A flower dies but next year flowers return. The sand is present whether the tide is in or out. Pebbles have watched in silence since time began.
