Hamelin Bay bottom of Wardandi country
and here you’ll find some of the best
limestone rocks for skimming across
the water’s surface.

Part way up the beach 
there’s a little reef section
of more limestone.

I stand near the reef and send a few
rocks out into the ocean.
And as I look down to find more,
I realise that the reef formation,
while much larger,
is also the form of a perfect 
skimming rock—sized for giants.

The whole in the parts,
the parts in the whole.
As all living things are,
and all that they create.

As we are, though
we need lose nothing
of ourselves 
on the journey back.
