Teacup
A boy must leave his
home and find another. He brings with him a teacup full of earth from the place
where he grew up, and sets off to sea. Some days, the journey is peaceful, and
the skies are cloudless and bright. Some days, storms threaten to overturn his
boat. And some days, the smallest amount of hope grows into something glorious.
At last, the boy finds land, but it doesn't feel complete . . . until another
traveller joins him, bearing the seed to build a new home.
