Like a shell on the beach... My memory lingers on.... The waves carry them in... The sand erodes their shape The rain buries them low... The sun shines them gold... A stranger picks it up... Seals it in his palm.... Throws it back into the sea There in the depth of time.. My memory lingers on.
Prabha Trimurty
The Courage of Life
The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of the final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.
