Cultivate silence
and learn the language of stones,
the sighing of sand.

    the yummy part
    which
    i am still tasting—>

    ”’the sighing of sand”’

    {{ sshhhh…do not tell a soul
    but
    i have heard this illusive sighing
    myself,
    dear observant teacher… }}

    The monochrome sand is monotonous, the rocks are full of color and arrive at the right time; I like the perspective here: we seem to be on land, but I thought at first that this view was taken at 30,000 ft from the port side of a 737. An amazing capture, from any altitude…

    Soft words of wisdom that reach the soul! And the shadowy rock enhances the mood of the moment!

    Sometimes silence speaks louder than words!! Good to adopt that habit!! I can hear the gritty sand grinding its teeth!!

    That haiku matches my post for SSS today! Love the shape of that rock. Like a Chinaman’s hat. No, wait, I take that back. Kind of looks like Maui.

    I am in love with this shot .. it is truly stunning and the silence is palatable .. but in a very good way .. we could all use some silence to rest our weary heads.
    Perfect shot !

    Hi MMT … that really looks like the face of a shadow animal to me. Very super neat.
