Seberang Takir, By the Sea

The unsheltered sea heaves and heaves and blanches into foam. 

The sea today reminded me of Tagore. Specifically, an excerpt from his letter. 

"From the beginning of creation there has been this feud between land and water: the dry earth slowly and silently adding to its domain and spreading a broader and broader lap for its children; the ocean receding step by step, heaving and sobbing and beating its breast in despair. Remember the sea was once sole monarch, utterly free. 

Land rose from its womb, usurped its throne, and ever since the maddened old creature, with hoary crest of foam, wails and laments continually, like King Lear exposed to the fury of the elements."

Our last trip to Kuala Terengganu before the interstate travel ban returns. Looking forward for the pandemic to be over. 

Keep safe, stay well, peeps! x
