The comparison of the grain of sand to our lives becomes clearer when we stop to think about the meaning that the morsel has on every aspect of coastal life. As humans, we are unique and independent creatures of habit. We are often much attuned to the way we wish to conduct our lives and we are not always willing to accept change. However, there are still times when the occasion seems as if we are wandering aimlessly through a world with no direction.
No mountain can be moved by a single hand. No river can be crossed without adequate resources in which to do so and no task is too great that we should have to work through it alone. Even though, we are self-serving individuals of habit; often overwhelmed in life and too proud to ask for assistance, we need to remember the fact that “Rome was not built in a day” and we do have support outlets that are willing to lend us a helping hand when we are in need of one.
Just as each lone grain of sand forms together with others to create the beach and coastal regions that we love; our friends, our family members and our support systems can join with us to embark upon something that is more wonderful than anything we have ever known. Our success and happiness can be enjoyed; our sadness and tragedy can be overcome, as long as we vow to face life’s adversaries and to never walk the passageway, alone.
