one single impression: avatar
Dredging the mud
And silt below it
The ocean sets the table
For the hungry sandpiper
The bird knows what it knows
That the ocean will provide
The bird fears what it fears
That the ocean will also devour
If given the chance
The ocean, for its part
Simply does what it does
What it has always done
What it will always do
Rake the bottom
And silt below it
The ocean sets the table
For the hungry sandpiper
The bird knows what it knows
That the ocean will provide
The bird fears what it fears
That the ocean will also devour
If given the chance
The ocean, for its part
Simply does what it does
What it has always done
What it will always do
Rake the bottom
And deposit the catch
Along the shoreline
For any who come
The birds know this
They come to visit
Take their fill then leave
To flock with others of their kind
Leaving the ocean
To do what it does
Secure in the knowledge
That the ocean will be there
To do what it has always done
Perhaps this is the reason
The waves sigh

About this piece: In Hindu myth, an Avatar is a representation of Bhagwan (God) in some anthromorphic form. Hinduism is not -- as it is often thought -- a polytheistic religion. It is polymorphic, with the underlying principles being that Bhagwan may take any form, and that when humankind has needed it s/he has taken such a form and appeared among us. They are joined by Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and others throughout history who needed to put a face on the almighty. To translate the divine into terms they/we could understand. Similarly, we confer human attributes on everything from dogs to automobiles to oceans. Thinking about that is what led me to this piece. (You had to be there.)
About the photo: Taken at North Topsail Beach in July of 2009 just after sunrise. The ocean does indeed provide for us all. Even the photographer hungry for an image.

Thematic Photographic 88: "What I Did On My Vacation" v.6.0 - It's Another Surf City Sunset
Photographers always speak of "chasing the light", and there have been times when I've meant that quite literally. Then there are the times when the light comes to you. As it did on the last day of 2009 along the Intracoastal Waterway in Surf City. In this case, I couldn't shoot nearly fast enough. Or at enough. It was, in a word, amazing.
