Perpetual Motion

Standing on this island, I feel the perpetual motion of things—the tides, birds, seals, fish, shoreline, even myself.  It seems to me that the task of the unfinished woman is to acknowledge her life as a work in progress, allowing each passage, evolution, experience to offer wisdom for the soul.
