Brief journeys - from one beach treasure to the next



Total physical and mental inertia are highly agreeable, much more so than we allow ourselves to imagine. A beach not only permits such inertia but enforces it, thus neatly eliminating all problems of guilt. 
John Kenneth Galbraith

Inert. Guilt free. That's me.

oh a big yes to this. I hope you saved that little pink butterfly shell as a souvenir.

Inert sounds good! The quote too! I was on a beach today, not the most attractive beach in the world but it still allowed a few moments of contemplation. But then I got fascinated by the large family having a fire and looking for creatures in the mud. I blamed them for taking all the driftwood that I couldn't find!
Have a good week!

I love the beach...the smells and just how it makes me feel. The beach has a way of giving me the big picture.
Love this.
