Song of The Sea - Print

Hear the gulls call in the sky,
The tide lap at the edge of the sand
But, I hope you learn to pause in this beauty.
I hope you breathe in the gentlest moments.
IF there is sunshine, I hope you lift your face to it.
If there is wind, I hope it moves you.
Look how the sand is swept fresh; the sea is all horizon.
I hope you see how each day has this possibility.
I hope you welcome the quiet as well as the storm.
Take deep breaths of salt and sweetness both;
I hope you know it’s the truest air.
See how the waves form one after another
(there’s no human rush to do it all at once)
I hope you live your life one moment at a time.
I hope you focus on what you love.
And, although I know the waves will storm you,
Toss you down and, and spin your heart around,
I hope you never stop loving what can hurt you.
I hope you learn to float when it is calm.
I hope you laugh whenever you can.
I hope you roll on and roll on…
See the ocean stir with passion.
I hope you have the courage to throw yourself in.
Fullness is so rare and fleeting
(and there’s always some bad weather coming..
If there’s a sunset, I hope you watch it.
If there’s moonlight, I hope you dance in it.
I hope your heart finds safe harbor;
I hope you know your heart is made for more than that.
I hope you can remember when the tide goes out,
It will come back in for you again.
(but I hope you know that a heart was not made for that alone)
When the sea is singing, I hope you listen,
And I hope you sing along.

What I Found At the Beach

the song inside - hope rising from the blank horizon - how our path is funny and strange and never straight - go slowly to see the little things - how easy it is to get tangled up in the bad stuff - the joy of NOT collecting - time to laugh - and forget.. life is sometimes the opposite of thinking - almost everyday is partly sunny and partly cloudy - how empty can be full - we all need to wish and hope and dream passionately - mussels are good things - so are buoys- life has pop! - hard edges soften- the pearl grows within - one wave after another is a lullaby - don't let life get in the way of your dreams...
