I took this photo as I was leaving Galway Beach, Ireland.
“To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.”
~ William Blake from "Augeries of Innocence"

Whenever I traveled the Irish west coast,
listening to the waves lap up on shore,
my mind would wonder:
"Just across that ocean
is the east coast of the United States.
Who do I know might be sharing this view?"
Then, along the beach at Cape Cod,
I searched the ocean's horizon
and wondered: "Who is looking across this sea
and possibly looking right at me?"
The blue-gray waters ebb and flow
releasing endless ruminations.

ReplyDeleteThese beautiful lines from Blake really touched me today! After spending 4 days in Galway, I had discovered the beach just as I was leaving that beautiful city to drive to Sligo... It was gorgeous!
