I learned to give something in return…
it’s usually a bit of hair…
sanctifies the exchange…
amazing to me how these beauties are buffed so smooth by being tossed on the sand… I look at them and wonder how many times they’ve been carried to and fro, to become so smooth…
It seems natural to me that I’m attracted to the fragments…

I see a wonderful poem here, Leslee. That too would be a gift in return. Very little extra work required, I think
Wow, you’re right Ben, thank you for pointing that out! :D
I hope’re doing well! Right now I’m immersed in furniture orders and palm trees, surrounded by some very curious lizards that always scamper away before I can take their picture… Florida is lovely, and I feel I’m working my way towards having more time to stay in touch.
Wishing love and joy to you and all my other dear friends! (Waves hello to Nick and Virgilio!) :D
I’ve wondered the same. Little beauties.
