Just got back from a very exciting walk
on the beach, the waves were extremely rough and heightened today,
higher than usual. Threatening and treacherous, the torrents of water
came forth like escaped prisoners, crashing, smashing, surging and
pumping onto a vibrating heavy sandy shoreline. For a moment I stood there
unbelieving, but became convinced because my legs bent under the force as they were buffeted by the angriest waves!
Who did what to provoke God into such fierce wrath?! The waves lashed out and the sea swelled and heaved in a great cursed crushing power that scared even me! What a passionate scene it was, like no other trip to the beach I have had yet.

There were a few ponds and puddles
briny deep in the sand as the water mass spread breaking its usual
boundaries. Glassy ferocious sheets of water, as tall as walls, swelled
up and splashed into multitudinous breakers all over the beach, each
wave sinking deeper than the other into the sand onto a great large expanse of the
shoreline, moving for miles--even forming quicksand pools. Watch
where you step!
An abundance of food like holy
manna--an end to hunger--came as a heavenly calling to the seagulls
who were hunting for fish as they were tossed upwards out of the
violent water. Bounding downwards the gulls scanned the sea with
penetratingly sharp vision, easily finding their suppers. The swelling
waters were living waters and provided them well. They flew from
everywhere toward the shore and not one went home empty and hungry.
Full tummies tonight and hopefully a calmer day tomorrow to digest it
all.
