With the ebb and flow of the tide, sand is gently moved around, creating new shapes and shadows in the ancient landscape that is the beach. Maybe we are taken to another time when our feet touch the sand, or when our mind drifts to sounds of the ocean? Is that why it feels restorative? Allowing ourselves to be far away in time for a little while, the crash of the waves demanding our attention. Yes Martha and the Muffins, far away in time.
