I went to the beach today and I felt compelled to wade into the surf as usual. I let the waves crash into me as I scanned the sand for shells and bits of sea glass. Shells are cool and all, but I’m more interested in sea glass. I like the fact that nature is able to transform trash into something beautiful. The saltwater and jumbling waves turn jagged edges into smooth ones. The glass starts to lose its transparency and become more frosted, but sunlight can still shine through it. It’s nature improving upon mankind’s inventions. Normally you don’t want to see broken glass when you’re walking around barefoot but sea glass is the exception.
