The Art of Gathering Sea Glass

How do we tell the sea that we're drowning on land?
And then sometimes, we dig our feet in the sand to feel something soft, and the sea says, “Rest, child. Look up, up at this sky. Do you see? I made you something pretty."
"Something with a little red, for the anger in you, that passion. You see how it melds with the yellow, that buttery hope still shining through the cracks? Those blush pinks cradle you in their warmth, purples stretch deep with quiet strength, and the blues echo the vast unknown, dusted with the glimmer of far-off stars — the sky holds all your moods like a secret.
See how the clouds keep it grounded. Are they the same shape as what you crave?"
"They’re all just there, unapologetic, blending like feelings — messy and magnificent — and somehow, it’s pure magic. Do you not feel grateful for every hue?"
"See how I make the waves ebb and flow, to remind you to breathe, to stop for just a moment and look.
Look, you’re part of something so beautiful — how can you not feel that way too? Give yourself a moment of peace. Look at me. Look up.
You don't need to look much further to find the love you still hold in your heart."
"Steady, my child. Breathe. Let's find a place where everything you see tells you to stay."
