Wave Du Jour…

Earlier today, I saw waves that were 8 feet tall–when they crashed against the rocks, they splashed on to the walkway above the beach. No one dared swim, and I didn’t see anyone else even on the beach. At sunset, the sea was a bit more calm, but–as you can see–some powerful waves were still rolling in…

It was but yesterday I thought myself a fragment quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life.
Now I know that I am the sphere, and all life in rhythmic fragments moves within me.

They say to me in their awakening, “You and the world you live in are but a grain of sand
upon the infinite shore of an infinite sea.”
And in my dream I say to them,
“I am the infinite sea, and all worlds
are but grains of sand upon my shore.”

— Khalil Gibran
