I would scour every shore line I went to. The closest I ever got was one of the lips of a cowrie, yet I was so excited. When I started my travels I was in awe of everything the sun and the moon touched but I still had hopes of a cowrie… I pulled up along the coast of Nyingulu and walked over the dunes, blown away by the colours and the beach all to myself. I scoured (out of habit). An array of broken shells, large shells, were scattered everywhere. I saw a tiny bit of spotted shell and thought I’d better take a look at the buried, probably broken, shell. I was wrong. I pulled it out of the sand and there it was - my first cowrie \u0026amp; it was fucking huge. Bigger than my palm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat lesson taught me that if the universe doesn’t answer your prayers immediately it’s because there’s something way better in the future.
