Today the beach offered one of Life’s great mysteries. What
if we could write the burdens of our hearts upon the sand and watch the waves
wash them away? Would we then be satisfied? Or would they just be buried, waiting
to be rediscovered? Regrets, half-debts and unrealized dreams: sometimes they seem to number more than the
grains that make up the ocean’s shore. I’d gouge the words into the packed,
damp granules, digging them deep. It would be a never-ending task, one that
would threaten to consume us like any hope etched on windswept landscapes. For
here we are, chasing illusive breakers, hoping to quench humanity’s thirst for
redemption. And how many people are just sitting, waiting for the waves to roll
in?
But true peace is found in still waters.
