waves

this week, i stayed across from the ocean.
i have always felt drawn to water
there's a lot to learn from the way water moves.
as i contemplated, the ocean waves crashing
disappearing
dissipating
melting away as they touched the sand
i witnessed a dance of surrender and detachment
i learned that life and waves move in the same way

the dance of life is so much about rhythm
about the energy of the wave you are experiencing at a specific moment in life
being in tune with that rhythm,
knowing that it has a useful life that does not last forever in that form,
the energy of that wave dissipates and transforms into something else

ocean waves reminded me that everything in my life is changing constantly.
that there is no need to try to control movement
simply enjoy things as they are in the present moment
then, letting them go, on the next out breath
without attachment and total appreciation
surrendering the ego and opening the heart
beginning anew with every cycle that comes in life
beginning anew with every wave of life i have the honor to share with you
