Kelp

This kelp is very much alive, deeply rooted in the sand, awaiting the next high tide. Normally a resident of deeper water, this adventuresome seaweed (though certainly NOT a "weed") has chosen to live on the very margins of survival.

Each of us has within us a mixture of play-it-safe conformity and let's-try-something-new adventure. If your life just isn't working, one tendency or the other is probably getting short-changed.
