    The restraint here is powerful. Image and words working quietly together. Thank you for sharing this.

    What a lovely inspiration! I love the haiku and the photo.

  • I love both the haiku and matching photo… & the ocean that it looks out over… a landlubber octopus!😉

    I appreciate how the octopus becomes a silent guardian of the pier. Its stillness contrasts beautifully with the unseen tides, adding a subtle sense of permanence.
