It is after this Climatic-Conclusion to the Inner/Outer Experiences of the beach morning,
that i am Danced and Played thru a new-to-me camera setting which is MUCH Clearer and can capture VERY long distance shots.
Remaining photos after the birds below are with the new setting.
Please see Read More a end for "the rest of the story" details.

GRACE ONLY OCCURS BEYOND MIND
WITHOUT MIND TO MIND, LABEL AND DESTROY
ALL IS PERPETUAL ETERNAL GRACE

There is no loneliness to the clear-eyed mystic
In this luminous, brimming
Playful world.
–Hafiz
Since there is no place large enough
To contain so much happiness,
You shrug, you raise your hands
, and it flows out of you
Into everything you touch.
You are not responsible.
You take no credit,
as the night sky takes no credit
For the moon, but continues to hold it,
and to share it,
And in that way, be known.
–Naomi Shihab Nye

ETERNAL GRACE ERASURE
“OLDER THAN GOD”
Am “late” for sunrise…..spray a large roach in early a.m. kitchen…on floor …nearly stepped on it. Spray with last dregs in the can and continue on…getting water to drink…believing the roach who scuttled beneath cabinet after spraying was “gone”. But NO, it suddenly was crawling up my leg and up to calf before I could shake it loose.
LOG, ROPE, COCONUT, BIRDS, New Camera Setting “out of nowhere”
LOG….see log we had seen a few days ago…wanted son Justin to be here to carry it to house as he did with a large piece years ago from the beach. This log today was first seen very close to The Rock two days ago. This morning it has been floated south almost to our sand dunes path.
ROACH…a longtime symbol here on island of parasitic attachments that have been in the human condition since before time. Roach energies cannot tolerate Light and go to lengths to avoid it. Natives say “there’s a roach on your bread” when your spouse or lover are lying/cheating with another or many others.
ROPE/COCONUT/BOTTLE – Gaze north and see two objects near tides in the distance…instant Sense is they are very close to Sanctarii….sure enough….ball of rope tangles in water/tide on north side of Sanctarii property. Coconut is directly in front of the property and green bottle floated up is on south side. All of these are symbolic of the journey to the Total Erasure of Pure Grace…..in order to not only find, but BE, the Sanctarii.
BIRDS - within moments of the above we see not one, but TWO LARGE birds flying together to the south rocks…..was unable to get a clear photo quickly enough…am also noticing the focus ability on this camera doesn’t seem to be working easily or well…..figure it is clogged with sand and salt spray, in spite of the careful, good care I take of the camera and lens.
NEW CAMERA SETTING I “accept” this is so re: camera ….(rather than my usual panic or laments/wails)…. then for some reason, without thought, am playing mindlessly with the camera settings which I absolutely cannot and do not understand. WITHOUT THOUGHT we try a new-to-me setting and BINGO this setting not only normalizes the extremes of colors but INSTANTLY focuses VERY SHARPLY on a long distance object.
This Happens totally without thought or any volition on “my” part. DONE.
This Happens just after the TWO BIRDS Appeared just over my head Soaring….i snapped that photo with the usual, setting……. then Fulled with this morning’s Appearances as chronicled/pointed-towards above and in OceanSpeak photos….and JoyFulling began to be Danced without volition or thought, with camera settings.
AFTER that the next photos are with the new setting which is VERY rapid and much more CLEAR even at a GREAT distance.
REMINDER from all of this:
Story in “dream form” on beach activity this morning of the Steps to Eternal Grace as a Way of Life.
Nothing to fear, figure, fix, change, label, repair or explain to anyone, not even any self, as ONLY Self is Real….the Self that is “older than God”…….the Self that comes from “Beyond The Silence…. all else is and has been “a snake that is only a stick”……ie illusions and/or matter of fogged/contaminated/infected perceptions….
Only The Great Nothing Remains…..a state of Eternal Cosmic Divine Grace….no words for this Really.
Just “older than God”* Sufficeth.

When your truth forsakes its shyness,
When your fears surrender to your strengths,
You will begin to experience
That all existence
Is a teeming sea of infinite life. In a handful of ocean water
You could not count all the finely tuned
Musicians
Who are acting stoned
For very intelligent and sane reasons
And of course are becoming extremely sweet
And wild!
In a handful of the sky and earth,
In a handful of God,
We cannot count
All the ecstatic lovers who are dancing there
Behind the mysterious veil.
True art reveals there is no void
Or darkness.
There is no loneliness to the clear-eyed mystic
In this luminous, brimming
Playful world.
–Hafiz
