On the beach ...

... Saunton Sands - The Dabbler.

As it happens, I don't believe this is a godless universe. But, as also happens -- and as is often the case with me -- I have no emotional investment a to whether it is or not. I could live with it either way. In fact, the notion that we're just a fluke has much about it to appeal. No weighing of one in the balance, for instance.
Anyway, I think this an engaging meditation, no matter what your position on God: "... look at the sea or the dunes and suddenly a great space has opened up between you, and in the winter the wind is so cold and loud that it blasts all thoughts clean from your head."
