Stunning, Mary Beth! I read this on the edge of my seat. Picturing you out there in the dark cold rain, discovering marvels. Thanks for sharing your world with us.
Oh my goodness, Mary Beth! This is lovely - that you found what you needed, not just cool animals, but creatures with characteristics and abilities that speak to and inform you. And then you came home and wrote so beautifully about what you found. Just lovely!
What shines and what is found. How the looking is a form of confirmation for traits and attributes, the evidence one might need to forgive or forget, to nurture and nourish. Might this be the self or others ...
Your use of colors, stunning photos-a moment in the tidepool illuminated by light and reflective pictures.
Exquisite writing! I’m so happy to discover a fellow Oregonian. Though my husband and I no longer live on the coast, I could feel my own beach wandering days (with sideways rain) in your delighting words.
And this sentence! “I was looking for someone who holds embryos in her mouth like so many words bubbling up, tumbling down column to pedal disk, to lodge in a fold of flesh and incubate and grow and become.”
May you continue to discover all you never intended to find. 🙏

Thank you, Julie! I am glad you were willing to come along for the adventure.
Brrrrrr! 🥶

Thank you for reading, Stacy! I like that alliterative sentence. Nurture and nourish are often my main reasons to head to the beach.
