27 January 2008

I went to the beach today after a long time, though it is only five minutes away from our temple.

There was one couple in sight. Unfortunately, it was not so pleasant, because there was a high tide shore line of washed up plastic bags and cups stretching the length of the beach (the longest beach in the world?) at least as far as I could see.

Perhaps this was the accumulation of years which I had not noticed, or a sudden influx to greet the new year. There is also no garbage collector, or even a trash bin anywhere along the beach. There never has been.

When I went in the water it was muddy (normally unclear anyway) and felt greasy. I didn’t stay in long, but rather satisfied myself with some pranayama in the evening sun. I cannot imagine what it will be like in ten years.
