It’s not uncommon when walking on the beach to smile when we see a castle in the sand…often we will find it nestled where the water meets the land.
For we know from experience…if we use only sand or only water…the castle will not stand…we know they need to work together to form a castle in the sand.
And we know, although it is possible for one person alone to build a castle in the sand…so much more beauty and joy is built into the castle…when friends and family lend a hand.
And we see how some castles are quite simple…others elaborate…others grand…yet we marvel at the beauty of every castle in the sand.
And we know we must enjoy every moment in the construction of our castle in the sand…because…eventually…time and all her vestiges…will return our castle to the land.
Perhaps that’s why we smile…because of all we’ve come to understand…every time we walk along the beach…and see a castle in the sand..
