I wiped away the weeds and foam, i fetched my sea-born treasures home; but the poor, unsightly, noisome things had left their beauty on the shore, with the sun and the sand and the wild uproar.
You must be brave to walk the beach alone. After all, you are only human. You may be simply looking for heart-shaped rocks or orange jingle shells, when, in a blink, three giants – air, water, and earth- might converge upon you to form fire. Fired, inspired, sea-spired, your heart speaks a language only you can hear.
Suddenly, your problem is solved, your path is clear, you have a wonderful idea! Lighter now,happier, your pace quickens as you turn home. The footprints you made only minutes ago are now part of the infinite sea.
A new you makes new prints in the sand, new marks upon the planet, dinosaur-size next to the birds- the seagulls, terns, and plovers.
The beach is never the same beach twice. blink, and it changes, blink, and it changes. blink, and you are changed.
