Pebbles in a Rock



Sunday morning was warm and sunny and I decided to soak up some sun before I leave to the cold, dark Europe next week.
I went down to Sandy Bay from Hout Bay. Early in the morning I had the beautiful beach just for myself. White innocent and clean, totally untouched, not even a footprint.

I lay down in the soft sand next to a sand stone rock. The wind was blowing prickly sand on my skin and the sun was warming me. Tickled, laughing and happy I was listening to the breathing of the ocean.

There are white clean pebbles embedded in the rock. Pebbles polished in a river a billion years ago.
Today they are on this beach turning into sand. The time of the universe is beyond our understanding and has no haste.

“Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.” Jorge Bucay
