As long as earth abides


















My pash Rebecca Solnit posted some pictures of beach sand patterns on her FaceBook page whose tones and grains could have been from Del Mar. 

The beauty of the inorganic world will never stop as long as earth abides

she wrote. Her first image was an inverted detail of the one above, which of course doesn't look inorganic at all. "Trees!" cried the comments in delight. Reconstructing how it happened is dizzying, like seeing a tree 

materialize from its top in a rush of invisible downward energy. Wow!
