Poet Beth "Batyah" Elishevah Ginzberg expresses her creative poetic meditations about water as a very powerful atmospheric element of the environment. Ginzberg wrote these poems at the East Rogers Park Lake Michigan Beaches, on-the-spot, to experientially convey the full effect of the Great Lakes of Chicago, IL USA for your reading pleasure.

THE BLESSING OF OCEANOGRAPHY

Oceanography. What is the spiritual aspect of this science, is there a way to look at it to appreciate the Greatness of the Blue Oceans, to fear the Dangers of Ocean Hurricanes as we fear the Greatness of Gd, the Lingering Damaging Floods of Destroying Ocean Tsunamis? 

To appreciate a springtime rainstorm, to see a bolt of lightening to turn it into a musical concert light show? To lay back on green turf on a blanket at an outside musical concert park and beat your feet to the drums you hear. Tap your fingers on your hands like as upon a sweet soprano flute. A piccolo? A Kosher pickle. Not to listen to just bass without Ein Sof as your source of sweetness, sweetness flying high as far as the sound of music can travel.

Oceans. California. The Pacific Ocean. The largest Ocean in the world! 

Redwoods growing. Birds' nests. Ocean birds. 

The tide coming in and going out. Splashing sensations on one's feet. Bare foot in the hot California beach sands. Venus Beach. A home for the homeless to travel. Beaches to welcome the homeless with an outside home. A tent here and a tent there. Every day warm. Every night cool but not cold. 

Oranges. Sweet sugary fructose fruit growing on trees. Pluck them off and eat free food growing on delicious wooden trees. Migrant workers well fed as they eat their own produce. A snack here and a snack there. Not to be hungry. Water coming in from waterfalls. Ocean pure natural waters. To take a Jewish mikvah in the Ocean water. Changing small letters into capital letters: ocean to OCEAN. From small to big. From dirty to clean.

The question is: Can we shun an ocean? An OSHUN? 

We need water every few minutes. Praying for clean water. The "Blessing of Oceanography". Water to saturate the mouth and tongue. Ocean waters cleaned in heavy duty filtration systems. A clean cup, a clean hand, sipping with clean lips. Water chasing away body poisons, food poisoning leaving the body with a glass of pure water. Not processed by the liver, instead expelled out of the body from the kidneys.

A blessing? Can we involve Gd into our thankfulness for the love of these large Oceans? Gd was the Creator. Like a Mom creating children as her own, like a Father helping his wife to raise their children, kids whom the Dad created too.

Watch and learn from Gd's creations, learn from nature. To feel as happy yourself as a great ocean pounding like drums of Timpani on the shores with each wave, successively, generation to generation. Drum head to drum head.

A Mom to become a Grand-Mom. A Dad to become a Grand-Dad.

Happily hydrated like the Great Pacific Ocean, pacified, gladdened, because of the purity of its clean water.
