Spear of Light (2016)
“He had told the Jhailing that they were leaving, and the Jhailing had asked him to come and talk. He didn’t mind; he feared the ocean, but it also held a deep fascination for him. Waves rolled in, hesitating briefly at the shield but continuing, rolling, rolling. They must have rolled in forever on this beach, years and years and decades and centuries of waves. Each had its own small raw power. Yet wave on wave on wave transformed coastlines.
The beach was a wonderful place to turn up his s...enses, to hear the susurrations and wash and backwash of foam, the moment that water crashed upon water as a wave curled to breaking, the call and reply of birds, the rattle of small, smooth stones, the breaking of bubbles in the sand after a wave receded.
He had heard the waves here sometimes swelled to four meters in fall storms, but there hadn’t been any so far this year. He wanted to be here when one came in, to stand on the beach and hear the waves boom into the shore.MoreLess
