HEAVEN and earth melded into one shimmering gray curtain at Crescent Beach during a walk soon after Valentine’s Day. It seemed the holiday inspired an
anonymous Samaritan to leave a second message of good advice in a tiny shell by the beach. It read,
"Love who you are."
Nestled in the grass by the engraved stone at my feet, the pearl of wisdom painted in the shell was as easy to miss as it can be challenging to follow.
We often reserve the right to love ourselves only after we achieve the ideal image of what we wish we could be.
The pretty little seashell was a random reminder that even with flaws, self-acceptance is the key to a more satisfying and wonder-filled life.
I took pictures (posting one at the sidebar) and left the hand drawn treasure for the next person who strayed off the path to discover.
