I came to find the ocean, but t’was the ocean who found me.
The Ocean has its silent caves,
Deep, quiet, and alone;
Though there be fury on the waves,
Beneath them there is none.
The awful spirits of the deep
Hold their communion there;
And there are those for whom we weep,
The young, the bright, the fair.
Calmly the wearied seamen rest
Beneath their own blue sea.
The ocean solitudes are blest,
For there is purity.
The earth has guilt, the earth has care,
Unquiet are its graves;
But peaceful sleep is ever there,
Beneath the dark blue waves.
‘The Ocean’ by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Sands blowing across the ocean coast in the strong spring winds. I used to think the desert sounded kind of boring – plain. Now I better understand how it might be truly be fascinating to watch.
My life during the coronavirus — stranded on the most beautiful island I’ve ever seen. It’s so soothing here!

Reaching up to the sun. Twisting in the wind. A lifetime of pages turning in a neverending ages. Grasping at storms. Sunning bare arms. Shelter for man and creature and memories. Hardened with history, hiding the mysteries of time.
I’m living on the set of every WW2 south pacific film of the 1950s and it’s beautiful. . . The movies don’t do the scenery justice!
. . . Chinese wuxia often portrays the ghost or demon kingdom – living in the rocky, molten mountains of the underworld. This volcanic rock meadow flowing into the sea was filled with purple and white algae, seashells, and watery pools

Visited Samyang Black Sand Beach 🌴🌊! The black sand comes from slowly eroded volcanic 🗻 materials (lava, basalt, etc.) Here it mixes in with the white ocean sand for a gorgeous combination! Super soft & warm too!
