These creatures are not attached to their shells, but the females create and then curl inside a shell while cradling their eggs, later releasing their young and moving on to create a new shell. The \u201cdance\u201d of these marvelous creatures, which float from home to home on the tides and ever-changing swirls of the open ocean, are the basis for Lindbergh to reflect on the journey we each take through our days and years. She writes:<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">\u201cPerhaps this is the most important thing for me to take back from beach-living: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid; each cycle of the wave is valid; each cycle of a relationship is valid. And my shells? I can sweep them all into my pocket. They are only there to remind me that the sea recedes and returns eternally.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure I quite understood\u2014or felt\u2014that passage in my younger years. But this summer, it felt like it was waiting for me when I plucked the book from my shelf.
