Fragile 17/06/2016



This morning I was contemplating how easy it is for delicate, frail people and thoughts to be swept away in an avalanche of everything that is bigger, stronger, louder, more assertive. When I got to the beach there was a random deposit of these glorious little delicate shells - tossed out of a still very energetic ocean, safely placed on the sand. Of course they have been uplifted from their natural place and probably many of them have perished. However, this gave me some measure of reassurance that some precious delicacy of life can survive huge hardship. I am going to hang on to that reassurance for now.
