Beach Hiking.....




Just gazing at an image of a wilderness beach...and pondering what Deng Ming-Dao said, "The narrow ribbon between land and ocean is a perfect place to understand the mind of wisdom."
It would be impossible to tally up the many miles, and endless hours, I have hiked down sand and cobble beaches...They are another favorite place.....
And when I stumble upon some perfect stones, ones so smooth and wave polished, waiting there patiently for a finder and later an image to appear within them, and then to eventually be placed, maybe on a desert trail, or tucked into a summit register, or placed just so for another adventurer to then find themselves...
Wilderness beaches..places to ponder...sounds so soothing...where thoughts take flight on their own accord...and anything becomes possible...

The west coast trail has these kind of beaches. Have you put any Summit Stones there? I'm sure I've been told about something like these being found there.

I have found a summitstone on a small rocky point on the west coast of vancouver island last fall. It was not far from the trail used to get to this point and is a brightly nicely painted cobble. The muse is what I really like with nature and adventure comments and the views each person has of outdoor fun. The muse is the thing and the comments on the blog that are muse in kind.
