Reflections on a Walk: Otherness Leaps

descendants of the earth’s core

Otherness leaps -

from the billions of pebbles in mutual embrace along the shore line.

-

In the swell of the ocean -

these descendants of the earth’s core rub against each other

proclaiming the beauty -

of being shaped by otherness.

The pebble is shaped by another,

the other shaped by yet another.

Is this sprawling otherness present in the shape of individual stones?

Or does otherness itself disappear in this ecology of rock and sea?

Off camera a young man is proposing to another

Are we all descriptions of otherness or -

Is otherness the place where we mutually are?

I am not just this and nothing more.
