It Helps To Walk Along The Shore
BY BILL FAVER
Being along the shore gives us some lime to pon
der some meanings and do some
thinking and some sorting out of
priorities.
Choosing such a place away
from the routines of our everyday
life and focusing our activities on
simpler ways of living can some
times allow us to refine our
thoughts.
We can make life-changing
decisions with a clearer mind and
a more objective approach. We
can see the night sky and the great galaxies and won
der about who we are and where we fit in the uni
verse. We can see the birds and the shells and Uic sun
lit ocean waters and know the inter-relationships and
inter-dependencies of life on earth.
We can write or read or sing without the usual dis
FAVER
tractions that muddy our thoughts. We can search and
seek and create. We can feel good and secure and spe
cial.
A good many years ago, I watched a special child
walking along the beach as she thought about going to
college and these thoughts came to my mind:
1 saw you walk along the shore today-searching.
Were you searching for shells, or sharks teeth, or
driftwood, or tiny bits of glass ground down by the
sea?
Or, were you searching for yourself? Seeking to
know, "Who am I?" And asking some "Whys" and
"Why nols" about life...
I've been there, too.. .searching, and probing, and
changing. ..and asking "why" and "why not."
It helps to walk along the shore some days and lis
ten to the cverchanging yet changeless sea. And feel
the wind. And sec the mysteries of living and dying
Promise me you'll never stop searching, and probing,
and asking...
