Wind, waves, sun and moon determine the type of beach the sea builds.

Waves sink quickly into coarse coastal sand. The loose sand piles easily and constantly moves creating a steep beach.

It takes more muscle to walk where we aren’t easily supported.

Fine sand packs more tightly. Waves don’t absorb easily, instead they create a smooth, hard and gently sloping beach. Walking is a pleasure.

I wonder about the texture of relationships in general. Are they fine or coarse?

Fine suggests respect, integrity, honesty and love.

Sometimes life storms will roar. It  does take a spirited dance to remain firm, constant and particularly fine.
