Ocean beaches

Don’t look for whatever just touched your foot. Don’t dive down to find it. That’s the chance it’s waiting for.

Never turn your back to the tide.

Don’t swim on the new moon. The moon’s light is the only thing keeping you safe.

Ignore the sounds of the birds. They will get louder as you ignore them, but if you go to them, they expect something in return.

Only look down to your feet, and never deeper than you need to. The deep shadows are not yours to worry about.

The ocean listens to you, too. She knows things.

Do not remove shells or rocks you find. They carry souls with them, and they will return to the ocean one way or another.

Leave no trace of yourself at the beach. She covers your footprints for a reason.

Do not leave abandoned sand castles. They were not built by children. The animals passing between worlds will not forgive you for the obstructions in their path.

Never move a rock bigger than your hand. Gently shift, but always place exactly as you found it. The creatures underneath know where they belong, and they can find where you belong, too.

Amir and his family have been displaced 7 times since this war began, and are under threat of being displaced again. Two days ago Israeli planes dropped leaflets over their camp saying they would be bombing the area. It is already incredibly difficult to live in these conditions even without the threat of being bombed. Please help Amir and his family by donating so they can continue purchasing basic necessities for their family! (verified, #174)
