Sidey’s Weekend Theme – 29.10.2010: The Natural Order
Nature’s Artists
Translucent waves break far out to sea
And roll towards the shore
While the wind erodes the cliffs
And the river carves out its floor.
Time marches on inexorably.
The darkness of night
Replaces the bright daylight
As the sun gives way to the moon
And the seasons pass us one by one.
These are the natural order of things,
The laws that nature dictates,
Which are not open for debate.

That’s brilliant, Adee! It’s always amazing when you go back to a place only to find how the coastline has changed – sometimes completely.

That is very true, Halfie. The whole area can look quite different. That particular beach, across the river, had the most beautiful shells.

adee,that is lovely.
It was worth reading a few times, to find different things each time. I like your work because it requires me to do that, and I find more and more.

I like this very much – those of us who observe nature closely know, change is the natural order of things… makes me wonder why, as humans, we resist it so much? 🙂 For some reason we think of ourselves as outside of nature, above it. Makes me think those who ask us to become the cliff, the river, etc., are onto something…

I think it’s probably because it’s easier not to make allowances for change – comfort zones, etc. – if we were a migrant people we would be more amenable to change, I think…

Thanks, Amanda! I’m going to be joining you in your break. I will be taking ± a month off to get my knee done, but will probably pop back now and then… Take care xxx 😀
