142 THE WHITE SHELL I stood on the empty shore watching the sun rise over the waves. The morning air was cool; I pulled my coat closer and began to walk. As I scanned the sand, a tiny shell caught my eye. I picked it up carefully, not wanting to damage the treasure I had found. Examining it closer, I discovered it to be pure white in color and perfect in shape. I held it almost reverently, amazed at its small, yet lovely form. I thought aloud, "How could such a delicate thing survive the raging waves that placed it here?" For many hours I walked the beach, stopping often to gather stones and shell s that appealed to me. Some were large with brilliant colors; others broken and beaten by the tides. The sun was in mid sky when I realized the weariness in my legs; I started back. The walking was not so easy, bringing notice to the extra weight from my bulging pockets. Knowing there was a long way to go before dark, I began to drop my lovely collection to ease the heaviness I was feeling. The shining beauties seemed so unimportant now. As my fingers reached deep to rid myself of the la st, I found only the tiny, white and still perfect shell. I held it to my eyes and marveled at its elegance. Again, a reverence fi lled my touch. The beach was no longer deserted, and I was aware of the young people playing and many of the old ones wading cautiously in the surf; one old man sat alone. Nearing him, I noticed his tattered clothes, his stubbled chin and wrinkled eyes. He sat with treasures that he, too, had amassed. They looked much like the ones I had left behind. I squatted beside him and smiled. "Hello", I said. He muttered something I co uld not discern. There was silence as he touched and turned the items in the sand. It occurred to me that perhaps the tiny prize I had saved would bring a s.mile to this tired and weathered face . "Here," I said, "I fo und this this morning." It is not very big and has no distinct color, but it is truly lovely in its flawless &-tate." He took the shell, inspected it, and with a smile said, "Thank you, child." We talked no more, and I went on my way. As I look back on that day, it is clear that the journey of life is much the same. The once-valued collection became but a burden, as worthless to the purpose of living as are the perverted concepts of materia'r'wealth and monetary satisfaction. Yet, the tiny white shell, like a symbol of love, was the fu lfi llment of li fe's intention. Dianne Taylor
The sun smiles as it chases the darkness from its hiding places Spreading its mighty arms to gently prod the sleeping world into wakefulness Touching every blade of grass, every leaf with golden warmth . ..Jre dew drops shout as they catch the sun's smile with an echo of glitter; The warmed wind kisses the breast of the morning, and the day begins.
