Behind me

Ocean beach. (San Francisco, CA)

"Walking, I can almost hear the redwoods beating. And the oceans are above me here, rolling clouds, heavy and dark. It is a world of elemental attention, of all things working together, listening to what speaks in the blood. Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands."
