Beachcombing for Life
Posted on 15. Feb, 2010 by joanna in News, Stories, Writing
I got a chance to visit Cambo House the other weekend, including a riverside walk to see the snowdrops, and a meander along the shore.
Looking at the photos I took that afternoon got me thinking about how beachcombing – walking slowly, looking for patterns, looking for colour, looking for meaning in discarded objects – is a bit like the work we do to find the stories that run through our lives…
Patterns, shapes, lines, markers in the sand…
Shape and form… meaning, maybe even art… from objects in our lives
The way our lives are multi-layered (multi-storied even)
New life emerging from our stories…
How about you – what do you think you might find if you took the time to go beachcombing?
