For all of you who are having a hard time…a distressed time…confusing or unpleasant moments…
Life’s a trip isn’t it? Up..down…decisions…here…there…putting you on course…or throwing you off…courage…to stick with it when you make an oopps decision…the ripple affect…what a journey…I sit and observe the ripples among the ocean water…I am reminded…it is full filled with ripples wherever you can look…maybe I should have brought my camera says the mind…its beautiful…calming…grounding….awakening….an interesting bird fly’s by and stops in the air hovering…I get up off the log I have been sitting on and move closer to the water right up against it…I look down at the sand and there is a small spray that comes out…I instinctively remove the green algae with my hand and underneath is a tiny crab…of course it makes me smile..
My attention goes back to the water…there is a spot where the sun is reflecting a lovely color on the water’s surface…I came feeling angry…disturbed…but now? It all went away…there are still ripples but not in front of me…there is a set on the right and a set on the left…yet straight ahead of me the water is still…I feel it within my body…as the sun’s reflection in the water shines on my face…I take a few steps…there are many crabs in the water walking sideways…so cute…I hear a bird chirping I turn around and there is a raccoon among the algae and rocks…lifting the rocks grabbing something and putting it in its mouth…rock to rock it goes…my heart smiles even more…another cute spurt of water comes out of the ground…the color upon the water is even more glorious now…
I listen to the birds…as I watch the water…sometimes turning around and looking at the raccoon…I realize that just a few minutes before when I was sitting on the log it moved as if someone moved it..I turned around and saw no human…it was the raccoon further up the tree! It is now further away among the water scavenging the rocks…the water…yeah the water so much to teach us…the tide in further and further…quite fast I must add…I guess I had come in perfect timing…I could watch it forever…the iddy bitty waves…I am engulfed in its essence….grateful…there now is a young teenager boy behind me as close to the shore as you can be at the bottom of the trail…sitting on the ground serious reading…my heart smiles even more…the water is even more beautiful now with the mountains in the background and a more vibrant orange…this is calmness…this is joy…happiness…my happiness…
