| We were momentarily captured by the surprising beauty of a young seal swimming before us. Epiphany-like it revealed, then slipped below the surface of light--delighting us. |

| On this winter's day, the softness and light of the water's edge at the confluence of the river and ocean was unexpected, and very welcome! Breathtaking beauty was everywhere! |
| Epiphany is a time of dreaming and contemplation, of giving one's attention to the simplicity and potency of the season of winter, and of trusting oneself to follow the threads of aliveness, curiosity and presence. Four women, Suzan, Deborah, Judith and I set our to explore this time and place together. We began with attention, curiosity and prayers. We traveled the Three Capes winding road between the edges of the forest and the sea. We witnessed the grandeur of the sea, the mystery of the headland forest. We met a quiet guardian of the roiling sea below. We walked the night beach, guided by the moon. We wandered between the worlds of our known civilized home and our less known wild nature home on our shared journey. Most importantly, we traveled within. |
