“Old man in nursing home reacts to hearing music from his era”
Practically brought tears to my eyes…
Life in a city is essentially a huge illusion, with grocery stores magically refilling themselves, 24 hour a day neon illumination, constant distraction. There is an endless, uniform blanket of sameness to it. Civilization is a shallow dream, repeated over and over in an endless sleepwalk.

Glass Beach is a unique beach, not because nature made it that way, but because time and the pounding surf have corrected one of man’s mistakes.
Beginning in 1949, the area around Glass Beach became a public dump. It is hard to imagine this happening today, but back then people dumped all kinds of refuse straight into the ocean, including old cars, and their household garbage, which of course included lots of glass.
By the early sixties, some attempts were made to control what was dumped, and dumping of any toxic items was banned. Finally in 1967, the North Coast Water Quality Board realized what a mistake it was and plans were begun for a new dump away from the ocean…
Now, over 30 years later, Mother Nature has reclaimed this beach. Years of pounding wave action have deposited tons of polished glass onto the beach. You’ll still see the occasional reminder of it earlier life, such as a rusted spark plug, but for the most part what you’ll see is millions of pieces of glass sparkling in the sun. (As part of MacKerricher State Park, collecting is no longer allowed).
The earth will be okay once it shakes us off for good. Only then can it heal.
