Weekly Bread #169

Some might say that an easy life is like a long walk on the beach. But I have to say that walks on the beach are not always like “a walk in a park.” Beautiful yes, and if you look I think you can find beauty most anywhere. But on a pristine beach on a blue sky day, you have only to open your eyes and majesty surrounds you. But walking on a beach really isn’t all that easy. The sand grabs your boots and gets into your socks. Your feet sink inches below the surface and that can slow you down. Sometimes the wind comes up and blows sand into your eyes making it hard to see where you are going. There is never any shade. Sometimes you realize you are in a tsunami risk zone, not to mention the king tides and sneaker waves that can be deadly.

But maybe a walk on a beach is just like life itself. Not as easy as it might look, sometimes dangerous, but oh so worth it in the end.

L’Chaim!
