There is nothing more relaxing and soothing to me than water.
Being on the beach and listening to the waves and the sound of the ocean allows me to drift away from all of my cares and get lost in the rhythm of the sea. Occasionally I may encounter birds or other wildlife along my travels, but mostly I am able to gain peace and tranquility just from walking along the beach or being close to the water.
There are many moods to the surf and sand. At times it may be gentle and smooth and others it may be more insistent and demanding. But no matter what the mood or the time of day, the changes that I encounter and the ever-present movement of the surf and sand remind me that nothing remains the same even if it is considered familiar.
We change from moment to moment, just as the sand is sculpted and shifted by the waves of the surf. Sometimes the changes come as a result of crashing waves in our lives and other times they are barely noticeable because of the gentle tickling and nudges of the events that are like gentle waves as they ever so gently and patiently craft us and mold us.
My Journey of Peace brought me to the water's edge today and I left with a deeper appreciation and understanding of the ebb and flow of the events of our lives and how they affect and shape who we become--much like the dance of Surf and Sand.
