The Beach

I am sure a bone from St Valentine could have been found in the Gorbals (Comment February 14). Myth and folklore has it that he or parts of him could have ended up in numerous places. Which puts me in mind of John the Baptist whose head is reportedly enshrined in various cities we have visited in the East-confusing or what!!
Walking on the beach today with Ruaridh I noticed how the sand was formed into these amazing furrows. Most were interwoven a few straight, some wide, others narrow, deep and shallow ones, Dreaming along I thought how they reminded me of some aspects and paths of life- Happiness, sadness, health, sickness, and how at times all these run into one another and what a relief when the road starts to become clear and straight. Enough!! Bon voyage to Graeme & Graciela who fly out to The Big Apple today. Big snow storms there. Fur knicks as well as fur coat required.
