I went to the Muir Beach overlook yesterday.  The fog is in so I dressed for winter and felt the news of these days melt and flow away.  I met two friends.  One just lost her husband after 16 months battling pancreatic cancer.  The three of us lost a very good friend this week, and so I sink into melding with the ocean and rocks to give expansion, compassion, and comfort with transition, passage, and grief.
