As I spend these days walking slowly along the ocean's edge, I find myself subsumed by the presence of the sea--its power and vastness. Now in this time of great change and flux, a new life can be born...not so much from "making it happen," but by being formed and moved, in surrender to a force and presence greater than myself. Piano music: "Gymnopedie" by Erik Satie, performed by Jessica Roemischer
