The ocean… what it does to my soul, my sound, my footsteps….
As I walked in peaceful Syntara meditation,
something new, something ancient, arrived.
My breath was a new breath that held
the wisdom of ten thousand years.
The way the sun reflected in a small pool
where the waves had receded...
pure, infinite, a vast dark eternity
in its brilliance.
A doorway opened,
a portal, to a world
I have known and yet
wait for its arrival
with simple wonder.
The radiance splintered
into a million pieces
with the next wave,
slowly sparkling back to oneness
as the waves receded once more.
My God, how you give so freely, and sometimes it takes so long to behold the gift.
May the sparkles of eternal radiance continue to shine long after the tide has turned and the world has awoken into another season.
