Jupiter Inlet to Loxahatchee River

Just before the ocean that river turns on its back and side and slowly invites the world and the air and the sky, trying to give away everything, everything.  - William Stafford

Jupiter Inlet in the Early Morning Light

 A sports fisher leaves Jupiter Inlet for the Gulf Stream as the sun rises behind an early morning thunderstorm. Jupiter Inlet on the East Coast of Florida is beautiful and time of day but really shows off with the early morning light. You may recall my recent post on the Blowing Rocks along the nearby beach. Photographing the Blowing Rocks area at sunrise was the primary objective but with a…

Exactly one hundred years ago today, the Palm Beach Post reported “Jupiter, an enterprising community north of West Palm Beach, now has an inlet, replacing an old natural inlet and giving the best access to the ocean it has ever had.” The new inlet and its jetties were funded with bonds issued to the new Jupiter Inlet District.

Sonnet XXXIII

Full many a glorious morning have I seen Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye, Kissing with golden face the meadows green, Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy; Anon permit the basest clouds to ride With ugly rack on his celestial face, And from the forlorn world his visage hide, Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace: Even so my sun one early morn did shine With all triumphant splendor on my brow; But out, alack! he was but one hour mine; The region cloud hath mask'd him from me now. Yet him for this my love no whit disdaineth; Suns of the world may stain when heaven's sun staineth.

Life in our universe is a flash in the pan, a few moments in the vast unfolding of time and space in the cosmos...A realization of the scarcity of life makes me feel some ineffable connection to other living things.

humble pie

Jupiter Inlet  [Looking out over the town where I grew up]

The main dish served on earth is humble pie. Just when you think you've accounted for all the ways you could have done better, if you are open to learning, you will discover whole new categories of errors and missteps you hadn't even considered were possible. The main enzyme that allows us to digest, rather than just choke, on humble pie, is forgiveness (of self, and others). We really have barely a clue of what we are doing a lot of the time, even when we are doing our best, no less on our "off" days. Forgiveness is just letting go and accepting: letting go of the idealized versions of ourselves and others we expend so much energy presenting and holding others to; and accepting that our development is a process and not a finished product. Yum!! Another slice please!

There is a pot of gold in Jupiter Inlet; it’s the “San Miguel De Arcangel that wrecked in the winter of 1659/1660 and had about 100 people on board.”
