Shell

Shell, found. 

Tucked in a side pocket of an old backpack. From some forgotten trip.

Somewhere I walked on a beach. Gazed at the horizon. 

Then looked down for treasure. 

And there they were. Scattered on sand.  Different shapes. Colors. Designs.

Intricate ridges. Swirls. Some perfect. Others, broken and jagged. 

Each reminding me of something more.

Sand between my toes

This week I’ve walked on the soft, white sand of Pensacola Beach and stared out at the deep blue and aqua waters of the Gulf.

I’ve relaxed, breathed in the ocean breezes.

Watched sandpipers race the tide.
