"If you won’t help them, he says, then do this for me. Dress in silks and jewels, and then go naked. Be stoic, and then be prodigal. Lead exemplary lives, then go down into prison and be bound in chains. Which of us has never broken a law? I died for you—a desperate extravagance, even for me. If you can’t be merciful, at least be bold."

This is the skyline of my hometown, Portland, OR. I’m in the Navy, so I don’t get the chance to go home often, and I won’t be able to permanently go home for five years. I miss it every single day. But now, no matter where this life takes me, I’ll always be headed home.

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.
