A Close Call, A Valuable Lesson
I still walk on the beach with Charlie. But I pay closer attention now. I keep him on a shorter leash when we’re near the water’s edge. I scan the sand for dark shapes.
And I remember that the ocean is full of creatures we don’t understand—beautiful, strange, and sometimes dangerous.
That “alien” on the beach wasn’t from another world. It was from the deep, a place we know less about than the surface of the moon.
I’m grateful I got to see it. I’m grateful we weren’t hurt.
And I’ll never forget the morning I thought I found a visitor from another planet—only to learn that the real ocean was stranger than anything I could have imagined.
Now I’d love to hear from you. Have you ever found something strange on the beach? What was it? How did you react? Drop a comment below – I read every single one.
