A Gift from the Sea.

It's been said that a sea shell represents, in miniature, the road from birth to heaven and all the new beginnings along the way. At this point in my life, new beginnings are important to me.

In her book Gift from the Sea Anne Morrow Lindbergh wrote: Milky and opaque, it has the pinkish bloom of the sky on a summer's evening, ripening to rain. On its smooth symmetrical face is penciled with precision a perfect spiral, winding inward to the pinpoint center of the shell, the tiny dark core of the apex, the pupil of the eye. It stares at me, this mysterious single eye - and I stare back."

.... and the adventure continues.
