Jesus was sleeping during a storm out at sea. His disciples thought they were going to drown. When they woke Jesus up He calmed the waters and asked them a question. “Why are you so fearful? Why don’t you have faith?”
The question they then asked each other was: ” What kind of man is this that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
What kind of man is Jesus to you?
Mark 5:39-41 (Sandy’s understanding)
East Wittering beach made of large smooth pebbles of brown, grey, cream and white……with kite surfing in an active wind
In still moments by the sea life seems large – drawn and simple . It is there we can look into ourselves.
Rolf Edberg Swedish author 1912-1997
Seaweed up close..…and thousands of sea creature castings…pink Tamarisk growing where the pebbles meet the gardens of homes lining the beach. A time spent walking by the sea.
The edge of the sea is a strange and beautiful place .
Rachel Carson 1907-1964 American Marine Biologist and the author of ‘Silent Springs’.
Saltersway is a well signed cycle way of 12 miles which starts in Chichister and ends in West Wittering. We did a section of it, doing 12miles instead of 24 miles.
The paths had varying fields beside them. Here the brown path with golden stubble…and here some stalks left from a field of greens (smelling of old cabbages) with the sky in the colour of the chicory flowers growing in pleasing sprays over the tall brown weeds. (Our skies havebeen grey today. Not that I am complaining!) Then lunch…A place where plants and crafts entertain and bring joy. A respite centre for those who care. They also serve excellent food . This was conveniently on Salters way .White Cosmos, shocking pink dahlias with bright orange Zinnias. A bunch of flowers these kind people grow.Some wooded areas and …livestock gates… Bess managed to run a few miles then panting enjoyed a ride with Roy.
Lovely capture of the blue chicory flower, and another wonderful composition, Sandy! I could spend hours on the beach, searching the pebbles for pretty ones. 🙂
