Mountains & Waves: Esalen, June 2010

Mountains and Waves on the beach at the meeting of Hot Springs Creek and the Pacific Ocean

What a ride... such a rich heartfelt time together.

Collectively we had a hundreds of photos... I narrowed them down a bit, but not in order of how our time unfolded.

So grateful to you all for so many moments. This poem speaks my heart.

At Blackwater Pond the tossed waters have settled
after a night of rain.
I dip my cupped hands. I drink
a long time. It tastes
like stone, leaves, fire. It falls cold
into my body, waking the bones. I hear them
deep inside me, wispering
"Oh what is that beautiful thing that just happened?"
