Right now on my healing journey I have been givine lots of time and space for reflection. The beach is my favorite place to just sit and be still. I find the calmness of the sea and the ever changing patterns that nature provides is the perfect place for me to just be. – Suzie

Do you have a quiet space where when you need to recharge or just take time out that you go?

From a distance it looked like someone had built a bed or a shelter.
On closer inspection it proved to be a complex structure.
Or more beach art?
This was taken at Fingal Head Beach looking out towards Cook Island

What do you see?

Beach Notes: Whale Sculpture

At this time of the year it’s a common occurrence for us to see one or more whales just offshore from our local beaches, on their annual migration north. Occasionally we are lucky enough to see one breaching. The picture is of one of the sculptures in the 2008 Swell sculpture festival – an annual event – at Currumbin Beach, about 15 minutes from where we live. “Helidon Breach”, the title of the work by Matthew Bath, references both the magnificent sight of a whale breaching and the source of the beautiful white Australian sandstone from Helidon, Queensland.

Beach Notes: Waiting for the Mullet

On a recent afternoon walk we saw the local fishers’ trucks and boats lined up and we stopped to talk. They were waiting for the mullet to come their way from the nearby estuary.

We’ve seen this team explode into action once the fish arrive, working the boats and nets and trucks with a huge expenditure of energy and fast, military-like precision. But right then they just had to sit and wait till the fish arrived. How would they know? Simple, the color of the sea would change. Simple for them.

Knowledge, experience, skill, the right tools ready, the team assembled, ready for action.

All good.

But sometimes you just have to wait.

On Wednesday when we arrived at the beach we saw this wonderful line of fresh footprints in the sand. it reminded me of these words of wisdom that we don’t always heed:

Follow one path until success!
