Holey Stone – Empty and Full
Together – Light and Dark, Water and Waves, Sun and Moon, Pebbles and Stones, Empty and Full -
Saturday, May 5th, my plan was to be at the beach in time to catch the sun setting and the full moon rising – together. Two events happening within minutes of each other, an unusual event and one I love to see and share, especially from a particular beach on Lake Superior.
When I left home, the sun was bright and all looked promising. A ten-minute drive to this beach and everything changed. Clouds rolled in, uh-oh! the moon would not be visible tonight, and yet clouds often make for beautiful sunset colors. Arriving at the beach, the clouds had thickened even more. Undaunted, I walked to the water’s edge and instantly saw one of the shots I have been seeking… a Holy Stone, aka Holey Stone, being washed and filled by water.
It always amazes me how the Universe conspires to support me with miracles. I have been wanting this natural shot for some time, unwilling to fake it by placing one of these stones at the water’s edge to get the shot. Even when I do that, I am the one who knows I did it… and it feels like a little white lie.
Light and Dark ~ Water and Waves ~ Sun and Moon
The heavy cloud cover was creating darkness quickly, yet the chance to get the stone shot worked… and a little golden color glinted in the sky. Quiet and calm, nature and I, together, whispered Thank You. Life is good when I notice these small things, and go with the flow. Perfection happens when I accept the constancy of change. The full moon rose within minutes, anyway. There are some things we just know, even when we can’t “see” the evidence.

a precious moment of beauty, a gift from the Divine. What a day!
Thank you Jocelyn – Well put – gifts from the Divine – divine timing.
Simply lovely! ♥
Beautiful. That must be a “Big Dipper” filled with water. It looks so much larger among the other stones. Just beautiful. So glad the miracle palatte was set out for you.
Thank you Robie! Nice to “see” you… it was a little one, about 3 inches across.
It was a picture perfect for that book of small gifts…
These are beautiful choices; especially the pebbles.
