Transtemporal

Across the sky, light bends to the sea, the blending of sea and sky, moment by moment time blends, stretching across the horizon- transtemporal.

A thought I felt-extending the moment to moment, entering the stream of being where all is here and there at the same time.

Where the sea meets the land is of intriguing beauty, a place of attention where we can experience the rhythms of the waves and the life that it shares. 

“I…a universe of atoms…an atom in the universe” Dr. Richard Feynman wrote in his prose poem about the Wonder of Life.

I also can’t help but think of Rachel Carson every time I visit the sea- In the past twelve years of photographing the ocean pull, observing, being present there and thinking what Rachel Carson wrote in 1955, “Always the edge of the sea remains an elusive and indefinable boundary. The shore has a dual nature, changing with the swing of the tides, belonging now to the land, now to the sea.”.

These long exposures are from the west of Ireland in Ballycastle and Kilcummin while visiting my dear friend Karina Hean, who was a fellow at the Ballinglen Arts Foundation in June and July of 2023.
