Just to sit awhile..
with the peaceful sound of waves washing into shore, whispering their own tales to each of us who are listening..
It is the favorite place for one who dreams and hopes.. for one who loves solitude and peace.. for one who values the wondrous gift of the beauties of this earth.
We touch them somehow.. the peace, the hope, the beauty.. as we gaze into the vast blue-green sea, as blue skies give way to soft swirls of white clouds, as the breeze blows our cares away..
for we begin to understand that the noise that blares its abrasive, ugly self.. the noise of hate and disrespect, has little meaning here. We can feel the peace of the universe, the rhythmic flow of time, the eternal beauty of a higher power – here in this glorious place.
