Seashells and shards
Faith in magic feels strongest around the winter solstice, especially as we
cross into a new year marking the first quarter of the 21st century. This week
I woke up in the middle of the night realising we left the Christmas tree lights
on. I had completely forgotten about the glass bowl in the middle of the
livingroom. That evening our youngest had decided to sort our collection of
seashells but fell asleep on the couch during a movie. By the time I understood what
happened, I heard the sharp sound of broken glass half way through the room.
The floor was a complete mess of shattered glass and scattered seashells. I
almost threw everything away to get back to bed as soon as possible. But then I
decided this was a chance to remember all the long walks in the sand and a sign
of good fortune for the new year. After all, I had just crossed the room
barefoot, in complete darkness, avoiding both seashells and shards. Surely, that was a kind of magic of its own.
