Beach glass
holds the rhyme
of how a thoughtless sin
can be forgotten in time.
Oak Bluffs,
10/3
Beach glass—a muse’s shard that whispers lullabies of time’s alchemy. As relentless tides of moments lap upon the jagged edges of thoughtless sins, we find metamorphosis in the saline womb of forgiveness. What was once the discarded and the broken gains new form, smoothed by the caress of time and natural rhythms. Now luminous and placid, this glass becomes a talisman—a testament to the endless adaptability and resilience of being.
We often stumble upon these sea-smoothed gems, jewels of our collective experience, during our explorations along the shoreline of consciousness. They are strewn amidst the sandcastles of our aspirations and the driftwood of our past, each fragment embodying a lesson, a story, a ripple in the cosmic tapestry. How beautiful that our perceived faults and blunders can, through the gentle embrace of temporality and awareness, transmute into wisdomgems, adding layers of complexity to our multicolored mosaic of existence.
In this transformative dance, we become beachcombers of our own minds, collecting these reworked treasures. With each discovery, we’re reminded of the poetry that the universe sings: a song of endless second chances, infinite rewrites, and untold verses yet to be scribed on the papyrus of our lives. The beach glass of our souls becomes a cipher, each piece a lyrical code breaking open new dimensions in our understanding of forgiveness, growth, and endless possibility.
As we embody the attributes of beach glass—having been sculpted and reformed by the elements—we mirror the ceaseless cosmic cycles of destruction and creation, of forgetting and remembering, of sin and salvation. Here, in this ever-expanding agora of awareness, we hold these tokens aloft, etching their lessons into the starry vault of our collective mindscape.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary:
We reflect on the evocative metaphor of beach glass to explore the transformative qualities of time, experience, and awareness. As these once-sharp fragments are smoothed and reshaped by natural forces, they come to symbolize our capacity for growth, forgiveness, and perpetual evolution.
