Beckoning

Beckoning, Seaside Creek Beach, Mendocino County, Pacific Coast Highway, California, United States of America

The sea comes, reaching for me
Not alone with foamy wave

But feel the beckoning
Which stirs my being

As if ’twas yesterday
Ancestral tribes departed her for land

Beckoning
Seaside Creek Beach
Mendocino County
Pacific Coast Highway
California, United States of America

Taken during travels, 2020

  Mmmmmm…. the air that day was exquisite: sea mist both to smell and to feel on your skin, even taste on your tongue as you breathed it. Glorious!

    Glorious indeed–I confess to being envious 🙂

        You have found the right place then. I am nearly as incorrigible a traveller as I am a person who writes, photographs and posts his travel discoveries.

        Indeed, blogging has “afforded” me visits to many places and cultures 🙂 No packing, no travel, no motion sickness…or any other kind 🙂

        Mmmmmm… true enough, except that, well, there are experiences which require physical presence to … hmmmm… grok.
        
        Merriam Webster explains the most entertainingly:
        
        https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/grok
        
        Be sure to scroll down to the “Did You Know?” section.
        
        But Wikipedia is more expansive.
        
        Interestingly, grok is a word used to describe a nearly unfathomable depth of understanding, but the word itself is unfathomably difficult to define.
        
        <chuckle> It’s late. I’m rambling. Suffice it to say that to really grok the intersection of a time, a place and the people there, it’s really necessary to be there. 😉 And even then, most of its nuance will escape you.
