the ocean....

There's something about the ocean.....
It's vastness.....
The waves....their constantness.
It's power.....
I find it mesmerizing.
There is no place on earth that I feel closer to God than when I am standing on a beach, the edge of a continent, overlooking waters teeming with life, covering long held secrets yet to be revealed.
It makes me feel small and,yet, at the same time, significant.
I love watching my children delight in it.
These same children who love all the technology of the time can spend hours running and playing in its waters and truly enjoying a place that is like no other.
Knowing that these same waters can yield destruction and death if it chooses reminds me that life is precious and sweet and that on this day, at least, grace was given and I feel so grateful to be.......
