There it was, before me, the Atlantic Ocean. The sight of it took my breath away. I had seen it before, more than once, but never in this kind of splendor. My mind raced back in time, twenty five years ago. A time when I stood on its shore, with my husband and our daughters. Being a romantic, I looked at my husband and said, "Isn't it great?" He answered, "Kinda grey isn't it?" First, he is not a romantic and second, he has seen the Pacific, still something on my bucket list, the Atlantic did not impress him.
But, this time was different. This time it was the most beautiful shades of green and blue, as far as the eye could see. The waves were small, possibly two feet tall, but they were moving quickly. The water was crystal clear and cold, perhaps the recent large storm had something to do with that.
We stood on the beach, this time with our oldest grandson and a new friend we have had the pleasure to meet. We all stood silent as we gazed out over this magnificent sight. Then, as if by magic, the first dorsal fin broke through the surface. It was soon followed by another and then another. Dolphins. Dolphins in the wild.
The sun rises so quickly over the ocean. It gives one a new perspective not only about how fast we are spinning through space, but how quickly our allotted time is ticking away.
The waves, on this body of water, have been pounding the shores for eons. Each grain of sand, once a rock or a shell, have fallen victim to the energy within the waves. It will continue to do so, long after we are gone. Long after we have procrastinated our lives away. It does not care what we do or do not do because the ocean is doing what it is supposed to do....it's moving, it's living, it's vibrating.
Albert Einstein once said, "Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics."
If you do not believe that, go sit by the deep blue sea.
