One of the most enjoyable things about going to a beach is finding shells or other objects. I call them my beach finds. Little treasures that wash up to shore or in the shallow part of the water. Walking and looking and finding! Life can have many beach finds. But we must take the time to explore and find them. Sometimes we pass by significant finds and only notice on our way back. As a child we camped at Rock Lake in Algonquin Park, Ontario. It was a spot that First Nations people used a stop on a canoe route. They also must have made arrows too. I have a little collection of pieces of flint from their work. One of my best treasures is a little arrow head that must have been used to kill birds due to its small size. A beach is that zone between water and land. Many of us face transitions in our lives like a beach. We stand and look over the water trying to decide to wade in or stay on the land or sometimes just walk on the beach neither going forward or backwards. Still experiencing and finding our "little treasures". What are your beach finds? What little treasures have you found? Do you sit on the beach or wade in the waters?
