“The Beating Sea”

28 March 2024 – We do not photograph the Metz & Chew art installation near Coal Harbour that bears this plaque…

and we are here walking along False Creek in March, not November.

Warmth and brightness are therefore both gathering strength, not losing it.

But!

The sliding edge of the beating sea is always with us.

Thank you, Earle Birney.
