“The sand dollars were inside the steps, but not broken”
August 30th, 2006 by projectExist
“God is within us all; He made us in his image. This does not mean we look like him, this means we are Him. Who is to say He did not create all the myths? Who is to say His name can’t all the names? Who is to say He can only be from one place?”
What experience solidified your beliefs? “I had always looked for whole sand dollars when I went to the beach. I never found them, always the broken ones. It became second nature to scan the sand for them.
One time, when my ex-husband and I went to the beach, we got into a very bad fight. The resentments had been building up and finally they tore through. I ran to a cove on the beach, crying and hitting the downward spiral of depression. I sat on a rock and asked God why this was happening? Why was he allowing this? Did he even exist?
At that moment, I looked down and there were 30 little sand dollars, all whole and complete. The steps I had taken to get on the rock were still there, with the broken sand, and the sand dollars were inside the steps but not broken. Those were the first, and last so far, sand dollars I would ever find on the coast here.”
