A Facet

Now that I have decided to add the ocean to my life, when the weather doesn't permit me to work on the farm I head to the water.  Today the mountain rains began just before noon so I mounted my trusty steed and headed for the shore.  I arrived to discover that a giant storm must be raging in some distant clime for the ocean was a bit agitated.  I walked over the white sands and onto the black lava shelf running out to the water.  I strode to a high point and stood marveling at the power of the surf.  The ocean would rise up to challenge the invading darkness and then retreat to reveal deep fissures in the lava.  As the water rose up it became black like the lava and as it retreated it would flash turquoise in the fissures.  What a beautiful rhythm.  I stood for a time, my mind totally enthralled by the grace of nature.  What a nice new facet to have in my life.
