My brothers and I spent weeks with our grandparents by the
sea where we learned so much more than it may have seemed. Not because we saw
an actual shipwreck but because we saw the potential for it. Not because we
actually found treasure but because we could feel the immanence of treasure at
every seashore. We fished for wishes and caught them; we swam to find
mermaids and became them; and we dived for pearls and returned with a stick, a
bit of litter, a coin or the makings of a joke. Pearls, in other words. We
learned about tides and chance, storms and sun, the vicissitudes of what is
lost and found, flotsam and jetsam, castaway luck, islands, sea-songs, rings,
riddles and pledges.
