Reflections

such power

Walking along a beach or sitting up top of a cliff, watching and feeling the strength of waves rushing to shore.. One is captured within its force.. You finding your self breathing deep each time the waves come in.. you enter into its rhythm..you close your eyes and feel each wave rushing into your soul.. and as each waves withdraws back to sea.. there is a comprehensive glimmer of 'who' we are..

Looking within, is like looking at a reflection in a pond.. sometimes its clear and still.. sometimes its stormy causing ripples of disfigurement..making the reflection obscure..

perhaps its looking outside of oneself is when we see beauty's reflection..

    Dear Hope, Thank you for visiting the Painting Studio and for your comment. My last post started by my thinking of reflections and how one well placed word can change the world forever like ripples in the waters. Then, I got carried away! Smile. As ever be well. Stephen Craig Rowe

    Hi Hope,
    I had been trying to visit you for sometime now but your space would not let me in. Then again, I found you comment in Stephen's space and clicked on the link there. That is how I found out that you have decided to leave Spaces. Stephen had kindly given me you new URL and that is how I got here.
    I am glad you have a new home and it looks very good, but I miss you at spaces.
    Hugs, Marie

    hi Hope,
    I am staring to recover from being so tired. This is a wonderful post and so very true.
    So very beautifully written. I remember visiting my mom on Vancouver Island a few years back and just sitting in her back yard by the ocean and watching the seals bark and the waves come washing in and always in aw, . They say women are drawn to water and I did sit there for hour no matter what the weather.
    Have a weekend. Your space looks great. I love the tag line. I had that one similar once. and yes the best is yet to be!!!
    Love You
    LIsa

    Dear Hope,
    What I am reflecting on right now is your friendship . . .
    The inspiring kind words you wrote to me on my space . . .
    I wondered how you might reply. …
    I gazed into the ripples of your friendship,
    And saw the face of God, by and by.
    Thank you, very much!
    Love,
    J~ohn

    I believe your closing observation in this post is correct.

    Indeed, we are all surrounded by so much beauty it would be difficult to miss it.

    Hiya Hope!

    Hope this finds you well and in good spirits.

    I just tried to visit your MSN Space, and the door was locked, or it's not there anymore...

    I really hope you are OK my friend.
