Making it once again to the water’s edge
Where the waves of the Atlantic meet the sands of the Carolina’s
Traveling from the coast of Africa reaching my fingertips as I bend down to touch the water
Breathing in the salty air the wind moves over my shoulders and tousles my hair
Relief, everything feeling not so heavy
The waves continue folding and crashing, a reminder of life beyond myself
Peacefulness, thankfulness swell within
And gratefulness for the offering of hope this beauty holds
Holding me in this moment, renewing my spirit and granting rest at the water’s edge
May those of you who carry heavy burdens, who are tired with exhaustion in your bones find your way to the water’s edge…for renewal, for strength, for rejuvenation. May your heart be filled with Love to continue on, carrying out what is only yours to do. May you feel cared for and taken care of, trusting energy and life and hope will return just as spring does. And most of all may you know down deep that you are not alone…
And to those who are bounding with joy and peace and energy may you share it brightly with the world. May you offer your light to those around you and may you know how desperately needed you are as we all forge through this life, together…
“…There are days when the burdens we carry chafe our shoulders and weigh us down; When the road seems dreary and endless, the skies gray and threatening; When our lives have no music in them, and our hearts are lonely, and our souls have lost their courage. Flood the path with light, turn our eyes to where the skies are full of rooms; Tune our hearts to brave music; give us the sense of comradeship with heroes and saint s of every age; And so quicken our spirits that we may be able to encourage the souls of all who journey with us on the road of life…”
-St. Augustine
