Along the sea
Where dusk sits on the land
And search with me
For shells are free,
And treasures hide in sand.

This is the first poem in Shorelines and I thought it would be a lovely thing to read a poem each day of January and then take a walk upon the shore with that poem in mind. It was a bitterly cold walk at dusk tonight, and before I ventured out with as many layers as an onion - thermals and two scarves - I made sure the fire was stoked up and a tray was set with cranberry and orange tea and a slcie of Betty's Christmas cake (thank you Lynne!).
I am so glad I went! It was beautiful. Joyful.
