Sitting on the tumbled trunk of a tree long dead, smooth from the power of storms and rubbing against the ocean floor, you sift and sort, selecting and choosing, the perfect shell, the one with the best markings, the most beautiful colours and natural shine, but there’s so many, so hard to choose, to discriminate between them, segregating them, making piles, discarding imperfections, you want this one, you need it, not that one, it’s got a mark on it, until you decide, until you see, that they belong together, alone they are nice, but together they are magic and captivating, you smile, you sigh, you lay them back down, you let them rest, together

Beautiful image, the contrast of the soft colours of the shells and the hands is magic.
