For the Love of Sea Glass

This morning, I walked along the shoreline like I’ve done a thousand times, but something about the light—clear and gold as forgiveness—caught me off guard. The tide had just turned, and scattered across the wet sand were fragments of memory—shards of sea glass, shaped by time, tide, and transformation. I knelt to gather them, gently, reverently, as if touching the hands of ancestors. Blue like longing, green like growth, amber like the stories we bury deep. Nestled in a sun-bleached shell, they reminded me that beauty often comes after the breaking. I took this photograph not just to capture their shimmer, but to honor their resilience—how something once discarded becomes a treasure through the mercy of the ocean.

Fragments of Grace
by Ocean Eversley

a sliver of blue
rests in my palm—
not sky, not sorrow
but something in between
that remembers both

the green one
carries moss-light and
echoes of bottles flung in rage or joy
now nothing sharp
just softened truth

brown like a whisper of fire
or the deep body of root
burnished by years of surrender
it does not beg to be held
and still, I hold it

the ocean does not forget
but it forgives in fragments
letting the broken things return
not as they were
but as they might become

sometimes I wonder
what the waves have done with my past
if pieces of me are still drifting
waiting for light
to make them beautiful

a woman becomes like sea glass too
weathered by burdens
clarified by love
she glows in the sun
without apology

there is power in the polish
of time and tide and trying again
not to erase what happened—
but to honor it
in the way light now bends through us

each shard
a love letter
to every storm survived
to every part of me
I once thought was lost

I leave the beach with pockets full
not of glass
but of grace
and the quiet knowledge
that healing leaves a shine
