Walking along the beach, I search for wood for the fire. Laughing to myself, I can’t help but think that only Henry would have an island where even the driftwood is so beautiful. Slowly but surely, the pile of wood grows. Piece after intriguing piece joins the pile… grinning to myself I hope Cg can organize this into a beautiful fire…something that will last into the night….
Lost in thought I walk and search, then I see it… dropping the wood unheeded to the ground, I laugh in delight… a pool of water… a tide pool. Leaning over I am amazed by the tiny universe I find, it’s an entire eco system. Tiny fish swim among the pebbles, insects too.Tiny plants are attached to the rocks. And right there is a tiny octopus… I have never seen one so beautifully colored. Lord above it is such a brilliant blue. I wonder if it will let me touch it. Reaching down, my fingers break through the surface of the water. Just as I am about to touch it, my wrist is captured…
startled I look up... I can’t help smiling at Cg.
“Look at what I’ve found… isn’t it beautiful.”
