Peaceful Tide.........

“I know what I have to do now,

 I’ve got to keep breathing because tomorrow the sun will rise. 

Who knows what the tide could bring?”
Cast Away (2000) 

The moments of our life

roll in and roll out

and

on any given morning

much like today

we stand there

listening to the water

feeling the sand

cool breeze on our face

and watching the tide move

and

it happens to us

sometimes all at once

other mornings it takes a bit 

 as we stand there--

 all awe-like and burning bush struck

at the waters edge

...

 right there

on the edge of our moment

all mesmerized

looking

hoping

and all the while

searching

for 

the hidden treasure

we

call meaning

it rolls over us....

Peace that is...

Some days,

just like the tide

life 

brings to us 

little shells and tiny pebbles 

and

pieces of wonder

that glimmer and attract us.

Some days there is just sea weed

all tangled up from the 

stormy night

and

sometimes

yes sometimes

there comes the 

slimy creatures 

of great beauty

that 

cause great pain.

.....

Life

stand in awe

as 

the tide rolls in

and 

grab hold 

of 

all the hidden treasures.

Even on days we get stung or step on a piece of 

garbage vomited from the sea,

may we stand with gratitude 

for 

life and breath and warmth..

and when re framed as such

well

that in itself is amazing.

For the tide 

comes

and 

the tide goes

and as 

longs as it is coming in....

we are living

and

that my friends

is 

enough this morning

to 

take a moment

breathe in the wonder of THE MYSTERY

and

be at peace.

May the tide

bring 

to you

hidden treasures

and 

Peace.

Blessings.........
