If you’re a frequent beach-goer, then you probably enjoy the
predictability of fun in the sand, sun, and water. I anticipated all those
things when we visited the beach, but we experienced something else, too.
We positioned chairs about twenty yards from the water’s
edge and relaxed in the light breeze, mesmerized by the lapping waves. The day melted
way like that until about four o’clock when I noticed water inching up the
beach, chasing off everyone in its path. It sneaked closer and closer until it puddled
within two feet of our chairs. Although we’ve spent afternoons at the beach
before, the ocean has never reached out to greet us. Watch what this water
does:
While a storm is predictable, its impact is not. If you’re
a student, teacher or parent, you know—like last year—the school year will
begin again. But we never knows the types of changes the year will bring. What’s the
one thing that will never change?
