Movement of the Tide

We’re at Nick’s Cove in Point Reyes.  We made our usual stop at the bookstore in Pt. Reyes Station, and I bought Brooke Williams book, Encountering Dragonfly: Notes on the Practice of Re-Enchantment.  It’s a meditation on nature and connecting our inner and outer worlds through observing and being in the natural environment. It advocates a planetary and individual need to re-enchant.

Meanwhile, we’re savoring our current abode on the north side of Tomales Bay as the tide comes in and the tide goes out.  It’s June and almost the new moon, so the change is dramatic.  When the tide is high, the waves pound underneath our deck and lodging.  Looking out, it’s like being in a boat. At low tide the eye is stretched and the other side seems closer.  An egret feeds, and I, too, am nourished and fed.
