sea glass.

I want to age like sea glass.

Smoothed by tides, but not broken.

I want my hard edges to soften.

I want to ride the waves and go with the flow.

I want to catch a wave and let it carry me to where I belong.

I want to be picked up and held gently by

those who delight in my well earned patina and

appreciate the changes I went through to achieve that beauty.

I want to enjoy the journey and always remember that if

you give the ocean something

breakable it will turn it into something beautiful.

I want to age like sea glass.
