Nature an afternoon at the beach

  Rock colored birds face the wind so their bodies aren’t scattered like bowling pins. Pelicans circle us above, dive like missiles, their pointed beaks becoming spears, surfacing with wiggling fish. Sea colors, shades of green and blue, modulate.  Waves move as far onto land as they can go, then recede from our toes.. Fitting into nature, seamlessly, was what was lost in our Fall from paradise. Now, we are observers of nature, on the outside, looking in.
