Excerpt from Life Lessons

Upon the surface of the sea, storm and calm, light and darkness, come and pass away in swift succession. But down in the depths eternal stillness reigns, and there, year after year through many centuries, the coral reef grows, because millions of tiny creatures give their lives to the process, and build their own bodies into the structure. 80, at last, a white island emerges from the blue ocean.
