This is a third photo from Trinidad State Beach in Humbolt county, the first one being this starfish and the second this lighthouse. What a surprise to drive up to this state beach, walk out to a few clusters of rocks and then ecstatically gasp over the multitude of sea anemones and starfish. Tidepools have always fascinated me. They are eco-systems whose existence depends on cycles of feast and famine, the high tide that brings water and a low tide that often takes it away, unless a rock support system helps trap in a pool. Anemones remind me of 3 ideas. One, to always have a rock for support. Two, during a state of abundance open up to the flow. Three, when the ebb is temporarily absent, hold on tight to your rock and keep faith that the tide will come.
These are words to live by! Grounded, in the flow….sweet.
