Walking the Beach

by C.Kidder on April 2, 2010

 “Everyone needs beauty as well as bread, places  to play and pray, where nature heals and gives strength to body and soul alike.”  ~ John Muir

Walked for an hour on the beach both today and yesterday. Breathing the ocean air was just what I needed especially after such a long stretch of bad weather .   Being near the ocean for me is like going to church. In fact I may just walk the beach on Easter morning instead of going to a traditional service.  No sermon to patiently sit through …just  the peaceful  sounds of  the waves crashing and seagulls singing…  and  there’s no need to get dressed up!  Definitely a  perfect place to celebrate Easter.

“Give up to Grace, for the Ocean takes care of each wave until it reaches the shore.”

~Rumi

I really love the quote from Rumi. My soul is aching to see the ocean.

It’s one of my favorite quotes…such comforting words.
