the night before i left on my summer road trip i went to a singing bowl ceremony at moran beach
a friend invited me and a couple other women to this weekly event by crystalline sound that runs tuesdays at sunset when the weather warms in spring through fall, by donation
It had been a blistering hot day but as the sun got low the cool ocean breezes sprang up
there were loads of people on the beach enjoying the beauty of the picture perfect sunset, the sound of the bowls and the good vibes— some were eating picnics, others greeting arriving friends— kids were running around in the mix of young and old
we spotted great white egrets flying gracefully into the nearby eucalyptus trees, finding their nighttime roosts
a woman was meandering through the crowd with this incredible crystal lyre— if you asked, she would place it on your chest or abdomen and gently sound the tones
as darkness was falling we walked back to our cars relaxed and rejuvenated
it was the perfect send off for my big adventure!
summer solstice santa cruz style!
