sunday scribblings
When I get so frazzled by life I can always ground myself by going to the ocean. It was no accident that I found myself living within walking distance of the Pacific Ocean. Once I settled by the water, life started falling into place. I was always a city girl, spent most of my life IN the city. Now as I get older, I find comfort in the smell and energy of the ocean.
When you look out into the ocean, you can't help but realize that we are all but a small piece of it all. At least for me, that gives me perspective and grounding.

on another note....

her blue eyes
everchanging to suit her mood
but, always
inviting, enticing, welcoming
on a good day I just stare
as if taking a dive into the vastness
of
all that she is...

That's what I'm talking about. I did mention those Oregonian sea stacks in my Sunday Scribbling today.
Your poem was just lovely and I agree- somehow the ocean so big can make us very humble...
It seems that you connect with the ocean in a similiar way as I do.
I love living in a city that is on the ocean.
I agree with you re the ocean's power. I need to get there soon!!
thanks all!
This is one of those topics that is actually very dear to my heart...
I believe in the power of the ocean. It can heal to. I loved your post.
Someday I wish to settle down by the ocean.
I love the ocean too and though I don't live by the ocean, its not too far away.
your poem made me smile!

Let me second the others. In particular, I'm with Unfolding Rose re: your poem's last thought. Yes, brilliant.
Beautiful entry! I grew up a subway ride from the Atlantic, then lived a mile walk from it. Now I'm half a day's drive from the ocean and 10+ miles from the Gulf of Mexico, which is lovely but not the same. I treasure those ocean visits.
