Charlie Paparella Visits the Beach After a Storm

ASSATEAGUE ISLAND, Md. – In this week’s edition of Back on the Road with Charlie Paparella, brought to you by Furniture & More Gone Coastal, Charlie visits the beach after a storm to experience nature’s resilience.

Charlie says that storms come and go, but the natural world tends towards staying peaceful; adding that nature’s beauty conceals the constant struggle that faces all living things.

“Nothing can ease the human heart like the sound of waves rolling under an expansive sky,” Charlie says. “It’s the ticking of the universal clock and keeps time.”

Charlie spots a moth latched onto a golden rod. No matter how hard the wind blows and befits the moth, it never gives up and never stops trying.

“And I think that is the real truth of nature beneath the surface, in every part of the natural world, is to be alive is to try and to keep on trying,” Charlie observes. “Just as the waves that reach the shore do not cancel the ones that came before; they do not fill the needs of all the waves that will follow.”
