Waves come ashore. When they reach this intensity, we call them rollers, because they reach higher onto the beach. With them come pebbles and small rocks, rolling up on the sand beach and then retreating in the receding water. We wonder about their origin, perhaps part of a towering mountain in the distant past. The rocky pebbles are simple matter, the substance of the universe created by God in the beginning and pronounced “good” by Him.* — Diary, autumn 2009

* Genesis 1:1-10.

From the diary of beach walker George Thatcher, a retired banker, of Gulfport. E-mail: fishcrow@aol.com. A fourth volume of Thatcher’s work, “A Decade of Beach Walks,” is available in bookstores and gift shops and at the South Mississippi Store link to sunherald.com.
