The Treasures in Store at the Shore


Wilson notes, "Adults . . . undervalue the mental growth that occurs during day dreaming and aimless wandering.

September floods in like a full moon or high tide, and we return to our alternate rhythm: metropolitan suburbia. AS we drop our young beachcombers off at school, the moment contains complex overlappings of what they were, are, and will be. Languor and aimlessness give way, with melancholy, to organization and structure.

But I always hope the kids will carry with them what they have found by the sea - the daydreams that were the vessels of this summer's collecting - to guide their walk toward June and the next season of beachcombing, of aimless, important wandering. As e. e. cummings wrote:

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me) it' s always ourselves we find in the sea.
