| August 22nd, 2006 Seven thirty in the morning. Fog & bright sun, cold water. Early joggers and dog walkers on the path above the cliffs. I carried eight bucket of stones to the beach, in four trips from the car. Across the field, down the two flights of stairs, then slip-sliding across the cobbles. The tide was very low. I scattered and placed them high and low across the beach. Some I threw - backhanded, like a child - into the water. The white ones stood out brilliantly - I wanted to hide them, so buried many. The grey and brown ones fit in easily - but their numbers seemed so very obvious. Was I being too sensitive -- or were they really so noticeable? I've been wanting to do this since the spring. 1900 or so have made it to the beach and more will get there soon. The project has returned back to where it began: stones on a beach, the deep comfort of a single stone in my hand. |
