My emot...I enjoyed the thoughts your poem provoked. My emotions about the ocean are as turbulent as the waves...sometimes calm and peaceful, others ferocious and violent...and then sometimes, they just sway back and forth with the tide.<BR/><BR/>When I was an adolescent, one of my friends was killed by the ocean. He was surfing, and a wave swooped up and the great hand of Poseidon grabbed hold of him and never let him go.<BR/><BR/>It took me a long time to forgive the beast that is the Ocean, but while Mother Nature can be harsh and cruel...she is still our mother, and in time we, her children still find the need to be nuzzled in her bosom. <BR/><BR/>So, 20 years later, I find myself at piece with the Ocean..and I visit the beach and stand in awe of its power and majesty. When I think on my friend, I am reminded that I am NOT on the top of the food chain...and never will I forget to show Posiedon my respect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36300005.post-36077652607058416542008-07-28T03:58:00.000+01:002008-07-28T03:58:00.000+01:00What a gorgeous picture.

You've brought so many memories back for me. My childhood was mostly spent on the beach and when the noisy play was over, yes, I found solace lying quietly on the sand, letting the waves lap over me as I'd stare at the sky above, trying to make out shapes in the clouds.<BR/>I'd forgotten how much I loved those moments, and the solace I found there, until I read your post. <BR/><BR/>You are a master story-teller, I'm always drawn in here. Thank you, Keith :)<BR/><BR/>Mine is up at:<BR/>http://bellamocha.wordpress.com/2008/07/27/sunday-scribblings-solace/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36300005.post-73734214718166469042008-07-27T18:15:00.000+01:002008-07-27T18:15:00.000+01:00I love this, the realization that we are not seper...I love this, the realization that we are not seperate from anything..we are the beach, the waves, the stones under out feet.
