pebble picking

water fairy saw a plain pebble one day and picked it up. how interesting she thought. there could be no meaning to the pebble, though it might have a purpose.

there might have been an intention when it was picked up yet its sole meaning depends on both the one who found it and the one whom it ends up with. it can mean something, everything or simply nothing.

times when you wonder what is the point of passing pebbles around when if you can't see the meaning attached to them. times when you pass some pebbles around simply because you had been given some pebbles yourself.

when you know that a pebble is truly different from all other pebbles, that's when you not only see the meaning, but you feel the depth of the intention of the pebble picker.

if you pick a pebble just because its a pebble, then perhaps it might be better to put it back where it belongs.

water fairy thought, if a grain of sand was picked with much thought and effort, then she will treasure it more than a hundred pebbles picked altogether without them.

she gently places the pebble back onto the sand, watch the waves wash over it and walked on.

if a pebble was picked just because its a pebble, then perhaps it might be better to leave it where it belongs. for with or without the pebble, things are pretty much the same.

what a weird water fairy! thought the little pebble silently, as it sits quietly by the sea, enjoying the gently hitting waves.
what a weird water fairy! thought the little grains of sand too.

but that's just our water fairy for you.
