Anchors in the wind

Strength in numbers

Sometimes I’ll wander over to the edge of the beach and watch the dune grasses sway in the breeze.

I’m usually alone, because who else would want to stare at grass? I get it, it’s freaking grass.

But even forgettable slivers of organic matter can have a story. And far away from the crowds and the surf, a compelling story is being told.

It’s a story of survival, of deliberately planted grasses digging roots in the sand and standing against the winds that would wipe all of this out.

It’s a story of partnership, of working together to create greater collective strength and resilience.

It’s a story of humility, of getting the job done, quietly and in the margins, while the rest of the world is busy with being busy.

So, sure, this is just a stupid picture of grass. But standing alone listening to the green blades away in the wind, I couldn’t help but think that they were trying to tell me something.
