I was walking the beach when I saw two kids balancing on this huge piece of driftwood.
They moved slow and steady like the log mattered more than the water around them.
Reflections followed each step and made the whole scene feel calm.
I stayed back and watched longer than planned.
The moment felt like a small adventure worth remembering.
Calm sense of exploration
