What a concept!

I'm watching this designing show called Designing Blind where a blind man redecorates a room. The show itself is pretty standard as far as design shows go, but something the blind desinger said really touched me.

He was standing on the beach with a couple and talking about the water and the sand. He compared one person in the relationship to the firmer, constant sand where the other person was more like the deep and flowing, but sometimes stormy waters. Then he talked about the place where the two met at the shoreline. He said that if you tried to hold either sand or water alone, they slip through your fingers. Once you put them together (as in wet sand), they become stronger and now you can hold and shape them. At the shoreline, they are stronger because they are together yet they both retain their own separate qualities as sand and water.

I never thought of the beach that way, but I liked it. Who knew there was a love affair between the sea and sand? I'll never look at it the same way again.
