"Perlahan aku berjalan di pantai. Beberapa meter di bawah tanda air tinggi, saya berhenti dan membaca kata-kata itu lagi: TULISKAN KARYAWAN ANDA DI PASIR. Aku membiarkan kertas itu pergi, meraih ke bawah dan mengambil serpihan kulit. Berlutut di sana di bawah lemari besi langit, aku menulis beberapa kata, satu di atas yang lain. Lalu aku berjalan pergi, dan aku tidak melihat ke belakang. Saya telah menulis masalah saya di atas pasir. Gelombang datang."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I walked slowly out on the beach. A few yards below high-water mark I stopped and read the words again: WRITE YOUR WORRIES ON THE SAND. I let the paper blow away, reached down and picked up a fragment of shell. Kneeling there under the vault of the sky, I wrote several words, one above the other. Then I walked away, and I did not look back. I had written my troubles on the sand. The tide was coming in.
