The Sea and Me


There is a mysterious bond between me and the sea and it holds me captive until eternity.

As I listen to the waves lapping on the shore, I feel my worries drowned, my sad thoughts effaced and my fears washed away.

As I walk along the shore, I find back the essential things I have forgotten, lost or left behind - happy memories, lofty dreams, audacious aspirations - like sea shells strewn all over the sand waiting to be gathered back in time.

As I look over the horizon, I see distant shores waiting to be discovered, beckoning me like a mystery - "Come, I am waiting."

I may be walking along the beach alone but everything around me keep me company - the whispering wind, the thunderous waves, the quiet sand.

The scene is so beautiful it hurts my heart to its very last strand.

...Have you ever read, "Gift From the Sea" by Anne Morrow Lindbergh? I hope you will...it would fill a few of those places in your heart......it did mine...

Sol: I am happy to meet you here in my blog. I read your post about Hawaii. It was emotion-packed but wonderfully poignant.
