:: i’ve been missing my favourite shoreline.  through the winter month’s, my gps in partnership with my very soul, has been searching for other spaces that qualify as harbors, spaces that are deep and wide enough to hold all the seashell secrets i bring.  thus far, i haven’t found a space quiet and patient enough to let me hear the hum of the found items i bring to it.  a space that let’s me understand their true form, their essence.  and, my contentment in two of the three forms of salt water is dwindling quickly.  though i rejoice in spring, i long desperately for summer - for  sea::

yes, angry.
