beach. a place to regenerate.

I recently purchased a book, Beach a Book of Treasure by San Francisco photographer Josie Iselin.  I was window shopping in Solo, one of my favorite Solana Beach decor boutiques, and came across the book.  Between my studies of art and architecture, I already have quite the collection of coffee table books, but something about the images spurred the impulse purchase.  In her opening she states, "the seashore and its remarkable power for healing captivates us all." There is something to be said about the immense calm that can come from the magnificence of the ocean.  With the lapping rhythm of water, to the whistle in the breeze, or the fresh salty air - stress begins to fade and the breathes become slower.  Committed to looking closely at not only what surrounds you but also what is within you, the ocean allows us to clear our mind and presents the opportunity to look for beauty in change.  Just like each tide is new, our life can also ebb and flow, shifting to reveal new treasures.
