Wharariki Beach, New Zealand — wild, remote, and endlessly changeable 🌊

A place where light, wind, and tide never tell the same story twice.

A painter has 'set up shop' just outside the old Customs building near the ferries. He's in the middle of painting the newly-improved Queen Street mall in Auckland CBD. It's an overcast day, so the painting's colours and tones are soft, muted, grey.

A printed sign in a window on a side street down to the ferry says:

"Be Ruthless to Systems
(with an cartoony illustration of a rodent wearing a flower tucked in one ear) then below that
But Kind to People"

The inside window is covered with old newspaper, blocking out any views from the street.

Side-gig blues bringing him down
Death brings forth his scythe and sighs
"Great, another kid can't swim"
Grumpy, he wades in the tide

thrown by life into the throes
of pain, sorrow, and struggle
- yet mixed-in, higgetly-pig
is laughter and joy indeed

young souls in the wing peer in
...unsure - hesitant - anxious...
'til one leaps in with a yawp
the rest link their arms - and jump

Ooo, the striations in the green portion of the first picture...like veins in a butterflies wing...

Lovely, all of this <3

sweet butterfly
of hope
flies skywards
striving for
the rainbow light
from out of dark
she rises
broken wings
still flutter
to the night
tear-eyed
from painful growth
a sharded beauty
yet
escape she might

How can I experience
Sonder when I'm stuck
Unsure if this self
Having THESE thoughts
("Me")
Exists
Or is merely
A phenomena of some sort
If I'm candid here
How can "I" be sure
You're not just imagining me?
And if that IS the case
Would you mind
Imagining me
A little smarter?
