It was about the size of a babies tooth. It was a a pink and creamy colour with 'animal like' print along the back. I had a some trouble keeping it withy me all day as it was really so iccle. I took it with me when we went to get scones from this little cafe that we someones front room! I took it with me when I waded up to my knees in the water to get closer to some puffins. I took it home and put it in a little wooden box. I cast a spell so that the little shell would bring me happiness. I have never looked at it since. 001123 ... gwyllynne ::lookin like a lil boy, brandishing a big shiny toold box filled with all sorts of things:: I'm tellin ya, I am going to break through that shell one way or another......and it will be fun! 001124 ... fanta I like my shell sometimes. It is a safe place for me to retreat when I feel like the world is a bit much to take, when the world gets really stormy. It's like a temporary calm from the storm that allows me the chance to gather up my gear and go face the rain and wind. To gather up my energy. Sometimes I like it too much. 010622 ... Keemeers I remember one time I collected all these shells on the beaches in Cozumel and Grand Cayman. I was so happy and I had them all in the ashtray in my room on the cruise ship. Then the cabin boy threw them out. That wasn't all that great afterall. 011114 ... ...ooo... either i don't have one or i can't get out 020207 ... girl_jane thin and candy 020215 ... eklektic i have a cowrie shell bracelet that actually belongs to my mom that i wear quite frequently. i have all summer in fact. but now it has more meaning to me. during my week at camp i met a person who means a lot to me (see: model). he wore a lot of cowrie shells and one in his hair. i told him i'd pray for him and he said he'd do the same for me. so now, when i put the bracelet on or even look at it, i'm reminded not only to pray for him right then, but to pray - continually. 020728 ... phil today 020729 ... kim yam bam sometimes no more than a closed shell on a beach 040130 ... phil someone who does not argue with anyone. 070516 what's it to you? who go blather from
