Perspectives

We spent the day at the lake yesterday. My younger daughter, a young lady who oozes patience and delights in any and every event that is good, began digging in the sand. At first I thought she was just building pyramids. No. It was a tunnel she was excavating. 

After a time of digging, my elder daughter joined in the excavation.

Soon they connected the two holes and a few scoopfuls later, got it deep enough to find moisture. Not being content with damp, they began to tote water in 16-ounce intervals from the lake to the tunnel, tagging-out between digging and toting with each bottle-full. During one of the trips, the eldest inadvertently created a skylight in the tunnel.

My son, whose foot you can see in the above photo, then entered the picture lowering his phone into the tunnel to see what he could see. What he saw? Magic.

Extraordinary beauty in extraordinary places. Who'd have thought? All because a young woman began digging a hole on a beach.
