Yet mill-pond still the rest of the ocean lies, waiting for the mammoth to descend....crescendo!
Do I dare take on this wave? Is the mighty force the challenge I need...to drive myself forward into the spray, unable to pull myself away?
Will the force be too strong for my small being? Will I be swallowed whole, engulfed in this deadly beauty? What will become of me? I do not know, yet I want to go in there and be free!
Will life allow me to be more daring? To live with the spirit to take on the day? To live with the willingness to risk my comfort...live outside the familiar...to take on the wave?
This is a wonderful piece. I can feel the power of the wave, and at the same time, feel the stillness of the water. Excellent!

First, thanks for your kind comment on my SC this week.
ReplyDeleteNow, to this piece. Wow! Even without the photo, you painted a beautiful picture of the wave. I agree that the juxtaposition of the violence of the wave and the calm of the sea behind it makes for very good writing. I was drawn into the writer's inner conflict, and that also makes for good writing.
Thanks for this read.
Namaste..........cj
Robyn and CJ, thank you both for the encouragement. I really appreciate it. Sometime pictures do not require words...this one did not, but I just had to put something down anyway!
ReplyDeleteHappy writing!
