Sure As A Briney Brush Washed Ashore
by Gingerbreadredhead
At The Briney Brush, Sal teaches survival to all those washed ashore, and even those still lost at sea, through the power of hope, beauty, and creativity, using every unpainted canvas as an opportunity, a dialogue with mortality, chaos, and the soul. Sometimes, when the wind wails just right, he hums a shanty his mother might have known! A song for lost boys, for survival, for hope. "Aye, the tide may twist, the wind may wail,But we keep our hands steady, so our hearts might sail.For every lost child the sea sets free,There’s a story, and a treasure yet to be seen!" Sal solemnly carries the twisted lessons of youth, the cunning, the fear, the betrayal, even the superstition.He carries the knowledge that survival and cruelty often walk together, and that loyalty can cost lives.Yet, most of all, he carries the wisdom that beauty can emerge even from the harshest storm. The sea taught him this, and he teaches it still.
