The Sand Dollar By: Noah Eaton 7/17/01 On the Washington coast I walk down the beach alone Balancing my laments with blessings in breathing the crisp air Searching yet for something to ease my emptiness, to welcome me To touch light upon the quiet water, be surrounded in praise That’s when I look down at the sand to see that familiar window A Window Of Divinity bearing forth the name of Jesus Christ I scoop it into my hands to stare further into the Star Of Bethelem Tracing my fingers down the engravings, appraising this omen This calyx bears the Wise Man, that all of humanity strives to become Marked on ancient stone, impregnable blood of good-will warming in loving care Pieces of the everything coming ashore, His word hand-crafted Reminding us that fortune truly helps those that make the most of good judgment My thumb rests on the Christmas Lily to the head, a token of giving and sharing I reflect upon all those warm loving winters with my family, just seeing this touchstone All the while I ignite this afterglow of my fondest memories Understanding the fact that this flower will blossom every year, only imagining too many future reunions Five holes mark the cornerstones, all the many wounds our Lamb have beared Crucifixion bearing new hope, His blood belonging now to five Doves Of Peace Such those are seen when breaking this sacred dollar apart Breeding for a stalwart sake to further dedicate the resilience of I Am I hug this disc close to my heart, blessed by this priceless gift Forgetting all my emptiness in staring through this lost girasol, contemplating “Would it be wise to break this flower apart to sacrifice the segregation of the doves? To take this chance, establish a risk that every dove alone can achieve their own reason That’s when I look back into the flower again, realizing this resembles the all-being That to be guided by five doves together is just as if He is walking beside me To deify the greatest love is to be fulfilled with a unified guidance Immortal is one love, one calling, the Five Hearts Of Wisdom mingled Awareness can only be perceived through the many windows of His world Open to all faithful eyes, found in a flower, a star’s wink, a bird’s whistle, every natural endowment I share this window to all of you, to reveal such a window I have encountered Something that I will carry on my distant journey to His honor, to maticulate into His light |

I've always loved sand dollars and never understood their significance until now. A funny thing is that I have always concidered the whole ones more valuable and have thrown the broken ones away..... but even then, our Savior was broken for us and in this even the boken are beautiful. A very informative writing. |
