When you go where you go





I go
to seek
gifts
of the big
silver ocean


she is grace
she is power
she is hope
for tomorrow

I saw her
in these three generations,
her
essence,
& theirs...

the wonderment
of
what was,
of
what is,

& of

what can be





I go
to breathe
I go
to watch
I go
for renewal
I go
for wonders


& I receive

I wish you
the gifts
of the big
silver ocean


& that
when you go
where
you go

you find
what
you seek...

what
you need

I want to walk on that beach. I have your white tin heart hanging on my front door for valentines day.

Jane said...

Beautiful!

There is nothing quite like a walk on the beach. I am grateful that we live so near...It's my place to BREATHE...
When things begin to close around me, I drive to the causeway...just to look at the water. And all is right with the world once more...

Thank you sweet Julia. I would love nothing more than to find myself staring out into the ocean and lose myself in the horizon of what can be and what is.
I hope you are having a wonderful week and grab a little ray of shine shine for me please. :)

Very sweet and inspiring thoughts...they're exactly why I go to the beach when I go...I don't care about tanning or wearing a bikini...I just want to sit in my chair and contemplate...the sea moves that in me...there's a forever-ness and a spirituality about it all. Comforting. reliable.

Maya @ Completely Coastal said...

The ocean will always inspire me..., reminding me of my eternal soul.

Secret Garden Cottage said...

Love it, Julia! It is so sweet to see three generations together like that... "...what was, what is, and what will be..."

We are kindred spirits, you and I, not just with our love of the sea, but the appreciation we have for her and all she offers our souls.

Your words always ring true and touch my inner being. Thank you Julia for being you.
