LURED BY THE CALLING OF THE SEA



I am pondering whether to go to the beach or not today. I am pondering and pondering and as I ponder, my G-d beckons me with lures to visit His greatness at the water's edge, an invitation to see His beauty in the water's reflection like mirrors of each glassy water wave as it foams at the mouth and asks me to come back again and again to its shoreline where I can constantly view G-d's power, greatness, almightiness, and compassion.

His empathetic understanding awaits me, as I walk in dedication to His seashore, taking each step carefully in regularity, putting one firm step after the other; knowing that when I get there I am in store for a full show of incredible life-filled fireworks, as each flame of wrath that was kindled by an offender becomes doused by a splash of cooling, easy, but forceful water gush--drowning all evils--thrown about my feet on the sandy shore by G-d's mighty arms and hands.

Yes, each day I will take a trip to the beach as G-d beckons me, to see in person, how incredibly great G-d is, how wonderful righteousness can be, how surely He can protect me from all ills. As each wave watering onto the sand is like a massage over my body, a wave caressing with ease and comfort. I can see Him in this water, see Him as my Protector, my Sovereign, mine--G-d is all mine.
