The Ocean’s Edge: We Meet Again

And I come to the ocean’s edge and am always surprised to find the waves crashing—sea meeting beach. It never ceases. Even when I am away not thinking of it it at all, it still happens—sea meeting sandy shore, sea storming at times or gently lapping quietly—it never ceases. It here to tell us its story again and again.

All troubles seem to fade away when we hear its tale. Maybe that’s why people revisit so often. We know it can roar and scare us to death. It’s our friend, until it’s not. We know it can soothe like no other. We know it always tells a story we want to hear.

We know it takes away our breath as the sun rises or sets over it—filling sky with the colors of freshly picked peaches, bright red strawberries, and soft wild lilacs—just as if they’ve been thrown to the wind anew each time creating something never seen before. The lightning strikes and the dramatic sky speaks and the black starlit sky with moon beams reflect across ocean waves. No words are needed. And every once in awhile there’s magic in the night when phosphorus sparkles on beaches exciting wonder without a doubt.

I go to the sea and still find myself surprised to find waves meeting shore. And it never ceases. 😃 #theritzcarltion #ameliaisland
