One of my favorite places in the world is the ocean!  I love standing on the edge of the shore with my feet in the sand watching the waves come and go and listening to sound of the water coming in and going out.  Most of our planet is covered in ocean water, most of our body is made up of water.  We even spent the first nine months of our lives enclosed in fluid, so there must be something to the quality of water that speaks to our human consciousness.  Standing on the edge of the shore reminds me of the ebb and flow of life.  No matter what else is happening, those waves come in and go out, come in and go out.  It doesn’t matter if it is raining or the sun is out, if it is hot or cold.  The waves hold their own rhythm.  It is like the rhythm of our spirit.  No matter what else is going on, our spirit is meant for love. It is sometimes hard to trust that when we are feeling pulled down by life that it will return to a more calm time, but the rhythm of the ocean assures me that it will. God speaks so clearly in nature and when I lose sight of my groundedness I am reminded by looking around me.  My prayer for us today is that when we experience a pulling away from the calm of our spirit we have the courage to pause and take a breath in and out, in and out.  Make it a great one!
