Meet me here on the beach → ∞ ❤️

止まれ。

I stopped.

I knelt here in the wet sand.

Breathe.

Anchor right here.

Stay 3–5 seconds.

Listen…

Watch the waves crest and gently wash away what was written.

Let the ∞ and ❤️ dissolve back into the sea.

This is mono no aware —

the tender, poignant beauty of things passing,

the quiet knowing that all form eventually returns to the ocean…

and yet it is never truly forgotten.

The arrow I drew is for you.

And still…

the string vibrates.

Again and again, like the waves themselves.

Like the shimenawa renewed year after year on the Couple Stones behind me.

Let it stay → ∞ ❤️
