Creation

Blindfolded to the future we all stand on a barren desert with a silence so loud it’s deafening. Humming nature---enveloped by the sea, life is teeming.

Sea Star

About 1,800 living species of starfish occur in all the world's oceans. Most starfish typically have five rays or arms, which radiate from a central disc. However, several species frequently have six or more arms. I absolutely love the water, perhaps I was a sea star in a previous lifetime?

Visible Horizon

The intersection of earth and sky is called the visible horizon. Often times I look to the horizon as if it held the future. The word horizon derives from the Greek "ὁρίζων κύκλος" (horizōn kyklos), "separating circle", from the verb "ὁρίζω" (horizō), "to divide, to separate", and that from "ὅρος" (oros), "boundary, landmark". Observing boundaries I hope to see the light on the horizon.

Tracks

Late one evening in Cancun we were strolling on the beach and I saw what looked like a man covered in a tarp. All of a sudden it moved --- I screamed and jumped --- then realized it was a sea turtle! When we came back in the morning all that remained was the smooth, fluid movements of the turtle’s flippers in the sand.
