White Shell

I'm hooked on the beach...


A shell fragment tumbled by the sea.

An old dictionary ravaged by time.

Peace


Right in front of me, everyday.

    How old am I? How far have I traveled before being washed on shore? I wonder what the answers to those questions would be!!

    How incredible that something so simple, and in theory so damaged, could be so peaceful...

    I like the looks of that old white shell, knocked about and cracked up some but still all together sort of like me

    I think shells are so magical. The veins and the perect spiral shape are especially fantastic.
