"And this too was Greece.."

First day in Byron Bay, Australia.
February 2012.

I love connecting travel to art and poetry.  Both powerful forms of expression harness how a new destination touches the mind, body, and spirit...how an unfamiliar environment invigorates the senses...how the intellect is stimulated and the heart transformed.

Another Island

by May Sarton

And this too was Greece: 

Water so clear

A jellyfish looked opaque;

Silence so transparent

A voice could scratch it

Like a pane of glass;

A long crescent of white sand

Where we found

Not a broken hand of Aphrodite

Nor a silver coin,

But small pink shells,

The rockrose

White as foam

Under the dark pines--

And across the translucent sea

Another island

Floating on a dark blue line.
