I can’t seem to stop this morning. Some days are more inspiring than others, I suppose. And I’ll want to delete or at least edit all these posts by the end of the day. But I haven’t posted for a while, so I’m making up for lost time
My excuse on this occasion is that Kate posted a picture of the ocean along with a beautiful poem about its power.
And the ocean has always called to me. If it calls to you too then feel free to hold my hand …

I poke my toe beyond the sand
To where I hope to understand
That everything thing, it ebbs and flows
Everything. It comes and goes
The water’s deep. The river flows
The ocean holds what no-one knows
Nothing certain. Nothing planned
Come swim with me. Come take my hand.

I’m holding it!
Thanks for the link 🙂

That’s a beautiful poem! It might entice me into the ocean, even despite the high number of killer sea creatures you have there! 😮

Yes, but that is why I am impressed with anyone who would take my hand for such an expedition. It shows real commitment in the face of great personal danger.

I love the ocean! If I could afford it, I’d live 17 miles further west, at the beach.
I like your poem too, shall I take your other hand? Kate already took one…

I can find a hand for everybody.
Yes, I was raised by the beach and took all my holidays by the beach. Now we live with no beach in sight. Go figure ….
