Found on the Beach

Found on the Beach was inspired by a lifetime of exploring that magical transition zone where water meets land.

I feel guilt, picking up the shell and putting it in my pocket. It was meant to be part of the beach, another grain of sand that will rub up against the next rock or shell, replacing itself as it gets smaller.

One day, I will plan a visit to the beach in reverse. I will go to my shelves and drawers, fill my pockets with stones and bits, and scatter them into the incoming tide.
