473/499 … our return to the Sea (11/02/08)
The beach near our hostel (the “Playa del Fora”, where I would later complete my Pilgrimage by saying a prayer of gratitude, bathing naked in the sea, and professing my intention to give the rest of my life to the service of Love).
“On the seashore of endless worlds children meet … They build their houses with sand, and they play with empty shells. With withered leaves they weave their boats and smilingly float them on the vast deep … On the seashore of endless worlds children meet. Tempest roams in the pathless sky, ships are wrecked in the trackless water, death is abroad and children play. On the seashore of endless worlds is the great meeting of children.” ~ R. Tagore
