The ocean’s slow breathing

We usually think of tides of ebbs and flows, of inevitable, relentless, comings and goings. This thought came to me of a different analogy and I found it calming.

The ocean’s slow breathing

Twice every day

The steady respiration of creation

Slow dancing with the moon

Partnering with the sun

Embracing seen or unseen

In perfect harmony

with heaven’s unheard music

In calm or buffeted by winds

The inspiration of God

An eternity of faith and hope
