Stillness 7-14

listen – let the waves do the talking.

If you live—or have lived—on or near the ocean, you know there is a way of communicating with waves that imbues us with peacefulness and understanding. It’s not in the what is being said, but how it’s being said. Waves don’t use French or Mandarin to talk with us. There’s no need to translate or interpret the words. It’s more like the language of a mother soothing a child or a boy playing with his dog. It’s just as real and true and filled with love. When we deeply listen to the waves, we begin to ‘think’ like the ocean, and that’s when the ocean thinks through us, and our restless yearning becomes still.
