Sandcastles

sometimes we wonder why we bother why struggle... what's the purpose? seems like we are, and we build sandcastles by the sea sandcastles of who we are what we want to accomplish sandcastles of our hopes and aspirations only to find they are totally at the mercy of the sea life seems a structure so flimsy, so loosely held together, of the weakest materials- wind or water make light of us like we're just waiting for the sea to wash us into the past can you be fearless of the power of the tide? yawn in the face of death? if you can, show us if you can't- let's together find a way inland.
