A gift from the sea

My grandbabies at the beach... Summer 2011

 

                       The sea does not reward 

                       those who are too anxious, 

                       too greedy,

                       or too impatient.

                       One should lie empty,

                       open,

                       choiceless as a beach --

                       waiting for 

                       a gift from the sea.
