I LOVE this!!! And for me, it’s a delightful double entendre!
🙂 Thanks Caddo…
Hermit crabs are fascinating. So many life lessons to be found on the seashore. I think you may appreciate this passage from one of my all time favourite books http://www.spiritsite.com/writing/annlin/part3.shtml
Life lessons live EVERYWHERE – but perhaps the more pleasant ones can be found on the beach… Thanks for the link, Gallivanta!
On the beach and in the garden and over a cup of coffee 🙂
Oooh – my three favourite things!!! 😀
Must be my cancer star sign but I too loved this. Beautiful expression. Almost made me think of writing a follow-on. Almost I add quckly before you push me 😀 Still, maybe ….
*go go go go go* A subtle cheer to encourage you… 🙂
That’s nice & all. But right now I’d rather be a bird that flies south for the winter – LOL 😉
Ha! I’m with you. Global warming, Global schwarming. Sheesh…
If only moving house was that easy. Or maybe we carry too much stuff around with us and a nice empty shell is what we need to keep things moving nicely along. Happy New Year Melody.
Ha! Trust you to put a twist on things. Interesting thoughts – I am uncomfortably aware of the baggage I have been carrying, and am in the difficult phase of housecleaning these days, so I sure get where you’re coming from. Hmmm. Maybe we need a sequel crab…. 😉
There is something very sweet and prayerful about this! Thank you, Melody!
Thanks! There is a desire for contentment hidden in that shell for me…
Meanwhile, Melody Muses...
