The StarThrower

by Loren Eiseley 1978

As a young lady at the ocean shore, I saw a silver-haired woman dancing oddly on the beach just before sunrise.  She would bend, and twist, and lunge as she pranced to the thunderous surf as if it were some kind of imaginary drum. 

 

When I got closer, I noticed that she was picking things up and throwing them into the sea.  I approached her silently, not wanting to disturb her sacred dance.  I watched intently as she stooped to hold one of the many starfish that had washed in with the tide.

Fifty years from now

It will not matter what kind of car you drive.

What kind of house you lived in.

How much money you had in your pocket.

Nor what your clothes looked like.

But the world may be a little better because

you were  important in a child's life.
