More Pablo stories: Pablo was still walking along the beach. The bowl was in his hands. Every now and then, he stopped and looked at it. He turned it over.

Find more Pablo stories and listening episodes here: Pablo was walking slowly along the beach. The tide had gone out and the sand was soft under his feet.

For a moment he was not sure if he had been sleeping for one hour or many hours, and the light had changed while he was asleep.

He remembered the story of how mountains were made, how rocks were turned, and how smooth edges would appear on cliff faces. How the wind moved the ocean across the rocks to make slow,...
