Breaking Tide

The storm

 

 

Have you ever waded with your thoughts? Vaguely remembering where they started and unsure where they will end? I know I have. The waters with their sirens and whipped seafoam are uncharted, rendering a certain uncertainty. 

Why are we still here? Where are we going?

Is there another way? Will we reach the shore? What will calm the sea? 

Driftwood, jellyfish, sharks, tangling seaweed, and an island of peace.

The current sands shift, moving unevenly, blistering hot underfoot yet the soul beckons beyond to blend a slow steady wave carrying us onward.

A rare truth is given when we look at mystery square in the eye and let it unravel as it will, trusting that grace once obtained won't be lost.

  1. The ebb and flow of life is many times a mystery to us all.
    May calming waters come to your heart and soul.
    God bless us and protect us all

    Beautiful picture. Beautiful words. If there is peace and solace to be found it is surely in nature, by the shore, on a mountaintop or in a garden.

  3. Your words summon images, stories, conjure thoughts…keep me thinking and ground me in hope. Thank you for that.

  4. It is in nature that we see the beauty and power of God when everything around us is darkness. He is still in control. We can read His book, His manual for life, and know what needs to be done. But are we willing to do what it says?

  5. The lure of the sea. The constant movement is soothing. Rocking. Riding the salty waves is all embracing. Even somewhat nurturing. Yes, I do love the sea and all it has to offer.
