Conditions perpetually evolve, offering novel aesthetic opportunity at every turn.
“As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful.” – Laura Ingalls Wilder

Pelicans often cooperate in their airborne travels. During flight, as they follow the winds either to the north or south along the shore, group wing unfolding generates a vortex saving significant amounts of energy expended.
“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” – Leonardo da Vinci

Each experience differs in its specific way. Shifting from the universal to the particular by concentrating on the near and small instead of the distant horizon, consciousness is informative.
“There is in all things a pattern that is part of our universe.” – Frank Herbert

Awake and lightly treading along the path, spiritualism always follows physicality. Bundles of energy constantly sustain the life force.
“But is it possible to conceive the nervous system as living apart from the organism which nourishes it, from the atmosphere in which the organism breathes, from the earth which that atmosphere envelopes, from the sun round which the earth revolves?” – Henri Bergson
Shore Dynamics
Barrier beach

Offshore current
Traveling ocean water level energy fluctuations encounter a sandy beach. An accumulated sandbar can produce a sort of shore basin, concentrating the receding flow through a breech.
“Rip currents are caused by the shape of the shoreline itself, and they may be sudden and unexpected.” – Tom Harris

Direct imaginative engagement with strategies of extraction and reassembly push aesthetic boundaries. A brief object encounter can trigger surreal narrative passages, transporting meaning into unlikely abstractions transcending quotidian affairs.
“The whole world is your palate, but only if you reach, take hold of what you need and pocket it.” – Kurt Schwitters
