Riding Waves

Are not waves of
growth,
like the waves
on the ocean –
the water gathers,
building up
to a peak,
making its way
to the shore,
extending out
to the sand –
soaking in,
picking up,
then returning back
to the ocean again,
to wait for
the next wave
to begin.

Do you not sense
the rhythm
to waves of growth –
can growth not come in
with the power
of the biggest wave
threatening to crash
over you,
but do you not
ride this wave,
to see where you go,
soaking up what
is there
for you to see,
for you to know –
like the water
on the sand,
is there not an
exchange that takes place –
you absorb what
you need,
discard what
does not fit –
then like the wave,
return to calmer waters
once again?

Are there not times
when the waves
are big –
when forces unseen
combine to bring
waves of learning,
waves of growth –
do you not wish to be
in quiet waters –
still moving,
still growing,
but gently flowing
in a peaceful place?

You may be surprised
when you are in
rocky water,
or when the waves
look too big to ride,
but have you not learned
to paddle faster,
to reach the crest,
to enjoy the ride?

There is a rhythm
to energy,
there is an ebb and flow
that you feel in life –
you can ride the waves –
are you not the water,
when you reach the shore,
are you not the sand?

Can you let the
Energy of Love
carry you to
new adventures –
can you go with
the flow,
the rhythm,
that Love beats –
can you Trust
that you will learn,
to ride the waves,
can you have Faith
that you will always
return to Peace?

Keep moving,
keep growing –
be it fast or slow.
Sense the rhythm.
Let it take you.

Be Strength,
Be Courage.
Enjoy the ride.
Find your Joy
on the Waves of Love.
