Encountered near Jan Juc beach, Torquay/ Wathaurong Country

One thing I enjoyed about being up high on a cliff and looking out over the ocean was seeing the vastness of the water and being reminded that whatever I thought was important and worrying, was actually meaningless in the wide scheme of things.

As I looked to my left down towards the beach, I noticed a tiny bird perched on a twig. I’d been trying to spot these birds as I walked, but even though they were loud, they were good at hiding within the wiry shrubs that had set root in the sandy soil. They would chirp then move so my ears could keep up with them but my eyes couldn’t.

Compared to the massive ocean, I was about the same size and equally as relevant as the bird.
