Morning at Low Tide

Awaken to a magnificent gift! 
"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase; just take the first step." ~ MLK

One of the lowest tides of the year...June 6, 2012...Remember what you have seen, have heard, have taken to heart as such gifts of this life, this simple walk on a northern beach in spring light.

 There are no words for the enormity of such places at such times...the intimate yet private sharing of an expansive world with a few strangers or neighbors...no words exchanged, just a knowing tilt of the head in passing, perhaps a smile. For here is something far greater than we are alone...yet together with the life revealed at this low tide, we find connections clear and ringing true. Just look at this life:
...rushing toward us, waiting for our eyes and ears and hearts.
Come walk. Breathe the fine salt air. Absorb the morning light and the pulsing sounds of the sea. Notice life left over, left behind by the shrinking tides, sleeping on sands, waiting.
Take that first step, that moment saved for another day, a "special" time...take the step now, while you are able....in faith. Choose life. Go! Here we are; all of us, out there together...Rejuvenate, in order to continue the journey of resilience.
