“Form is emptiness, emptiness is form” states the Heart Sutra, one of the best known ancient Buddhist texts. The essence of all things is emptiness.”
― Eckhart Tolle
The space between atoms. The space between stars. So much of the Universe is made up of distance and empty space…at least in one perception. But perhaps our Big Brains can turn that around and imagine that spaciousness is a thing that something can be full of. Vastness. Expanse. Capacity. Potential.
I have been silent on this blog for a few weeks. I have been doing some Grief work and spending more time in the company of humans than in the company of my camera. I went to visit my brother at his new home on the coast yesterday. I had Patti’s Challenge in my mind as I walked from his house to the beach, and I brought my camera along.

Lovely photos you selected for the challenge. I loved the photos and your text.
Thank you!
I’m so glad to see you blogging. I missed you. This post is wonderful both in photography and narrative.
Thanks, Anne. 🙂

Your quote I encountered this in watching The Blue Eye Samurai. We could never be empty. Just look at your beautiful photos.
No where is empty except perhaps a vacuum…or a Black Hole. I imagine there’s matter everywhere, but I’m not a scientist, so don’t quote me. I am never empty myself; that I can say with confidence.
Huh?
🙂 Never mind.
Great beach captures for the theme.
I am saving these perfect quotes.
Thank you.
Philo.
Thank you, Philo.
You are welcome, my friend.
Hi Priscilla. I’m so sorry that you’re grieving. You’ve gone to the perfect place for thinking and finding peace within. The open space and the water are wonderful. Your images were perfect for the challenge. It’s good to see you posting again. We’ve missed you. 🙂
Thank you, Patti, for your kind encouragement and the inspiration to try again. 🙂
What a beautiful post you’ve shared with us this week Priscilla. I’m hoping your time visiting family and wrapping yourself in the healing powers of nature are exactly what you needed. Thank you for joining us.
Thanks, Tina. Nature is the perfect reminder of healing and moving into new life. 🙂
A resonating post, Priscilla. Thank you.
You’re welcome, Sofia. Best to you!

A beautiful softness in your images, Priscilla. What a great respite you have found at the beach. Seems to nudge us in the right direction when we need it, doesn’t it? Glad you joined us and not only shared beautiful photos, but also reminded us of the importance of reconnecting to ourselves. Stay well.
Thanks, Donna! 🙂

Love the coast. It is great space to center yourself. Glad you had your camera with you! It helps.
