The Ocean Calls Me
By John W. Vander Velden
The ocean calls me.
I hear its voice though I walk upon its shore too seldom. Drawn back to land’s edge, the sandy beaches,
to reconnect in ways not understood.
Perhaps it is the vastness, the wide view of distant horizon. Or the unbelievable power of wind and water
that draws me. The recognition of power
far beyond my imagining as water splashes at my feet. I find a connection there at the shoreline, a
connection between myself and something grander…greater…wonderful…GOD. I understand that GOD exists in all places
but as I stand on the edge of the ocean…as I stand with the wind blowing
through my hair…as I stand with the wave’s thunder filling my ears…as I stand
watching the water’s curling foam…I know, really know that I stand in HIS
presence.
The ocean calls me…and I shall return…
