I woke before dawn today

With nowhere I had to be.

So I drove to the boardwalk

To watch the sun rise.

"No access to the beach," said the sign.

Sure enough. Where steps once stood,

Boards took their place.

Unfettered, I climbed over the rail

For my all-alone-quiet-access

To God's Creation.

I sat on my clean towel

Amidst the trash and litter that had both

Washed up and been left deliberately there

by the Clueless.

Focusing on

Nature

and

The Beauty

and

The Healing Sound and Rhythm

of the small, quiet shore-waves,

I sat,

Slowing and deepening the breaths

and the rattling thoughts.

Then The Vision took my breath away.

The Shocking Orange Light

Rising from No Where

Like God's Cosmic Yo-Yo on the up-tug.

Water welled in my eyes.

Wondrous.

Miraculous.

Creation.

Bringing

Wholeness.

Meaning.

Direction.

To my Personal Chaos.
