Waves of Content

​            I recently took a quick trip to one of my favorite places…the ocean! I don’t normally go during the summertime, but what a beautiful experience it would soon become for me.  At 95 degrees and humid, Florida was certainly baking this time of year. The next morning, I headed to the beach. Full of people laying in the sun, relaxing, families with picnics, kids playing in the sand, people in the water jumping the waves. The innocence and beauty of it all. The Ocean brings such joy. I walked to the water’s edge and let the waves splash up on my feet. The water, warm like bath water. I took a deep breath, as I glanced out into the vastness of the ocean’s infinity. With clear blue skies and a gentle breeze, I stepped out into the water. As the waves began to flop against me, I found myself, too, jumping the waves. The warmth of the water flowing over me. I taste the salt as the waves splatter in my face. I smile. I feel free, uninhibited, and carefree. I feel an odd sense of peace as I know I’m with a power greater than myself. It feels overwhelmingly glorious. I tread water as I watch in anticipation for the next big wave. With each wave washing over me, I feel it cleansing, healing, the core of my being. I close my eyes and feel the sun on my face. I relax, breathe, take it all in and give thanks.
Spend time with your God, higher power, infinite intelligence, source. Appreciate your life. Live in today. Live with love, gratitude, and no regret.
            In Love,
​         Namaste
