Our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone.”( Borrowed)

Waterfalls have a way of bringing out the best in us – the adult and the child all at once! Here the fountain of youth meets me in a refreshing way. My baby girls are all grown up now but the memory of these simpler days as young students live on. This is the day they saw the inner child in their teacher.

“Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.” ( Robert Henri)

“The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination, and brings eternal joy to the soul.” (Borrowed)

“A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself.” ( Maya Angelou)

If you haven’t guessed, my favorite place is anywhere my senses can fuse with water. Water is that liquid love that has held me captive and refuses to let me go. In it I see the Creator in all His majesty. In it’s turbulence, I come face to face with my limitations. When it’s calm, it lulls me to sleep.

Take me anywhere I can hear the voice of many waters
Where waves dance uninhibitedly
Ocean sounds blend in melodious harmony
That place where chaos meets calm
Here for a moment
The inner me flows in one accord
Where cares take wings and fly away
Dissonance is quieted
The whole me moves in sync
All is well– if only but for this moment
