She gathered waves.
Every morning, she would stroll all the way down to the shore with a jar in her hand and pay attention.
If she heard a wave that sounded distinctive like laughter, or sorrow, or track she’d gently bend down and “seize it” in her jar.
Of path, the villagers concept it was stupid.
“You can’t capture a wave,” they said.
But Lina simply smiled.
Because she wasn’t trying to own the ocean she become seeking to do not forget it.
Her residence changed into full of jars, every categorised through feeling:
"Wave of anger."
"Wave of joy."
"Wave that gave the impression of a goodbye."
One day, an vintage sailor came to her and said,
“You remind me of a person I knew. She used to mention the ocean speaks to individuals who listen.”
Lina nodded.
“It speaks. But most human beings forget how to hear it.”
That night time, a big storm struck the town. Boats were overturned. Streets have been flooded.
But Lina stood with the aid of the window, maintaining a jar tightly the only categorised “The Wave That Feels Like Courage.”
In the morning, when the sea calmed again, Lina went to the seaside.
The hurricane had taken many things.
But it had additionally left some thing at the back of a perfectly fashioned shell, glowing faintly, sitting proper wherein the sand met the water.
She picked it up, smiled, and whispered:
“Thank you. I’ll don't forget this one.”
Then she located the shell beside her favored jar and saved listening.
