Once on a long and lazy Sunday,
I lingered on a warm and sandy shore.
I sat and watched the gulls take flight
and pondered what to do with my soul once more.
The clouds gathered and the waves started to rush in,
I heard children laughing and the sound of the hurried wind.
“What to do?”, I asked myself, “Sit here and enjoy the view or jump in and try something new?”
I made a decision and outstretched my spirit.
A powerful wave gathered strength and it knew I sat near it.
It came for me and as it grew, I did not fear.
For I knew, it carried with it grace…..
and redemption was near.
It was cool and refreshing yet warm and inviting.
The wave that overtook me washed it all away.
This wave that overtook me made me whole that day.
I felt very inspired to write this story thanks to the help of a friend.
I hope you all find some inspiration this week.
Happy Sunday!
The Fire Wave, a rock formation made up of swirling pink, red and white sandstone that looks like a wave of water frozen in stone. It's a popular spot at the Valley of Fire State Park near Las Vegas.
We are in a. spell of storms and very wet weather, so even though I could cycle down to the coast, I'd get soaked, so this is a. shot from earlier in the year. I think this was storm Dennis. It's. so easily to get totallly absorbed when shooting waves. Down by the seaside is by Led Zeppelin.
Lots of mist in the air from crashing waves.

A flashback with a return to a very special February day in 2007 in Collioure, south of France. In spite of 300 days with sun in the year - this was a day where heavy waves from a passing storm was coming in right to the beaches in the village of Collioure.
And of course where there is this kind of waves there is also surfers. See if you can spot the surfer in the middle of this photo taken 10 years ago.

Seaton Beach in South East Cornwall offers a large expanse of sand and small pebbles cut through by the river Seaton.
The beach is very popular with dog walkers and shore fishermen, and is one of the few beaches in this part of Cornwall that provides good waves for surfing.
Winter is the best time of year for surfing here, ideally when the winds are light and from the north. Statistically, February is the best month for clean, surfable waves.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. (John Masfield)
