ebb and flow

I live in a small city in upstate NY. I love living here. I am a city slicker. I also love nature and all it's beauty.

I learn alot from nature. I imagine myself to be an ocean., ebbing and flowing (even though I get sea sick). There's big swells and small swells. There's peace and serenity as the waves wash over the sand. The sand gets pulled into the sea and then it's brought back.

The ocean does get rough. But it will always calm down. It has high tides and low tides. Just like life. The ocean is wide and deep. It's like the mind of humans. There are parts that haven't been reached. It's powerful and majestic.

My brother was on an aircraft carrier in the Navy. He said that even though that ship was so big, the ocean still rocked the boat. (he got sea sick too).

Ships are safe in a harbor, but that's not what they are meant for.

Whether you are in a row boat or huge ship the ocean will treat you the same. Why can't humans learn that?

Live, love, laugh, learn, listen,
