I’ve learned over the years to be steady on my feet at the beach. The ocean is tricky, and we never know when the next wave will knock us down.

Or the jellyfish can wash up on the sand, their tentacles releasing their wrenching poison----grief. I remain on guard against this wax and waning of life. Experience teaches us to be ready for not only the gleam and glisten of calm waters, but also for the grim and raging parts as well.”",
