That’s hysterical. I am just cleaning under my bed, ready to dismantle it, and as I went to look at my phone, I thought, gosh that’s dusty… and saw your poem at the same time πŸ˜‚

This is gorgeous, Trudi! Both the words and photo - I have always been drawn to desert landscapes but have never been in one. xo

Thank you! Those dunes are by the sea in Gran Canaria. The funny thing is, we got lost in them and therefore ended up further along the beach than we planned - smack in the middle of the nudist zone! My word! I didn’t know where to look! πŸ˜†

Incredible, Trudi. This poem really invokes a kind of cycle of endless impermanence. Jojo also feels quite a synchronicity with the shifting sands subject matter.:)

Thank you, Trudi! I let the little furbaby know when he wakes up from his nap! Adopting a senior pup teaches me to live in the moment. Every day is a gift on these shifting sands.

I remember when I was a young girl, a few of us would go riding up and down the dunes in a jeep. It was so much fun!
