His job is a thankless one: Sweep up and carry away the seaweed that relentlessly floats ashore and coats the otherwise pristine, sugar-white sand - that was obviously trucked in - with a layer of material that reminds us all who's in charge.
His job is also never-ending. Before he's completed his trip from one end of the deserted beach to the other, leaving impossibly neat mounds of the stuff at perfectly spaced intervals behind him, more seaweed is already staining the beach where he first started. He'll never win this battle. Or even catch up.
But he's got a job, and despite the obvious futility of trying to hold back a not-so-random force of nature, he's going to doggedly pursue his goal no matter what.
I watch him for a few minutes before the combination of biting bugs and sand in my camera send me scurrying back from the frontier. He's clearly a lot tougher than I'll ever be, and I silently wish him well as I turn around and walk back to terra firma.
Despite the fact that we've never exchanged a word, it's obvious this beach is in eminently capable hands.
I hope all his mornings are similarly quiet and undisturbed. He - and others who work silently and constantly - deserve no less.
