Each the same?
May I disagree with kindness?
This...was very good.

I wonder if the sand dollars have been cracked open so that the five little doves fly out... Nice imagery. Thank you.

Thank you Marge....for helping me with the picture....

This is the little piece of my spirit that started this poem....found yesterday.

And Sadie...I had never seen those little doves until yesterday. Ratette found one and it broke against other shells she was carrying...there in the sand were five tiny white doves.

Ah Ed...I came back to this, and find such a sweet color of sky...laying so simply on the sand. Beautiful!

Yes... as you can tell, this was taken just before sunset.

Everyone else was up at the courts watching Junior warm up for the finals...and I was having a "moment" down by the edge of things. He got the thousand bucks, I got the moment. A fair trade, I think...especially since I did see the match too.

nicely written, though I'm a bit jealous...here we have nothing but the Mississippi River and the closest thing we have to a sand dollar is the mud nickle...not as inspiring, I'm afraid...and ours isn't nature's finery...ours just falls off the gambling boats...

this is just beautiful, and reminds me of days long gone by the shore, all of which I have in memory and heart....

RatL -- There is something truly special and spiritual about all of creation, but to me, sanddollars, are a special miracle. I liked this very much. ........jo
