Description
After a hectic week at work or while trying to work out issues, I like to take long walks on the beach near my home. Blessed to live and work at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, the waters that refresh my soul are only minutes away. When I'm being really healthy and environmentally responsible, I don't drive there. Instead, I take a long downhill walk along the edge of our campus, cross the bustling traffic on Pacific Coast Highway, hike through the wildflowers and scrub brush of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy trail, and finally make my way through a narrow passageway between two multimillion dollar homes that leads to a lovely stretch of white sand and ocean waves. Perhaps I am more open to hearing God's voice when I'm surrounded by the beauty of His creation, but I always seem to learn something on these journeys. Last week when I was trying to overcome writer's block, my beach walk provided me with the inspiration for this article. While taking in all of the sights on a large rock that seemed made for lounging in the sun, I became engrossed in watching a nearby group of children make sandcastles. Given my training in play therapy, I sometimes envision the beach as one large sandtray. As I watched a Hispanic boy with brown curly hair focus on constructing tunnels and bridges, the image triggered memories of my own preferred sandcastle activities as well as an apt metaphor for my professional life: building bridges.
