I woke early and put a quiche in the oven to enjoy while we watched. Why is quiche so good? Because it is savory custard in pie form. It doesn't get much better.
This afternoon, we headed down to San Onofre State Beach. The location makes this beach surprisingly remote, though it is within 20 miles of millions of people. Today, we were the only people on the beach.
The tide was out, exposing all of those beautifully round, smooth stones--perfect stacking opportunity.
The trick with stacking is feeling the balance in the rock. As I start to place one rock on another, I can feel the rocks click into place. Each rock added to the stack is dependent on the balance of the rocks beneath it.
Sometimes, if a stack tumbles, it gives me an opportunity to stack afresh, find new points of balance that enable me to stack higher than the previous stack would allow.
This is an analogy for so many things in my life. But right now I am talking about training for this next triathlon. My balance in running is off kilter. I need to work on that, build it up again.
