from Calm to Power - a symbolic take on life.

Blue filled the sky as I left the house. Anticipating a beautiful sunset, I had grabbed my camera & departed for the pier (later to find out I left my memory card at the house; my phone-camera had to suffice).
Not even a few minutes into my drive I noticed clouds rolling in. Hoping they'd roll on by I stayed my course. But as I pulled into the pier, not 15 minutes later, the clouds had covered the area. Darkness crept over and the waves strengthened in power.
Determined to at least enjoy the ocean, I sat upon the rocks, breathing in its somewhat stank aroma.



I watched the waves crash hard upon the rocks for a while. What was odd was the sense of fear that pulsed through my body every time a wave smashed upon the ground. The waves' intensity & sound shook me. Every so often a wave set would reach just feet away from me before receding, and as it hit the rocks, I could feel the ground beneath me shake.



By then, the lights of the pier were now lit & reflected in the clouds, glazed over with the fog.



It's scary being adventurous sometimes. As exciting as it may be, just like the ocean before me, my summer adventure is a little frightening and overbearing.
Yet as I sit in awe & fear of my God's creation, I am calmed to know he sits right beside me, leading and carrying me through this adventure of mine.
