My Power

I close my eyes and recall an image and it is filled with colour, and texture and I fill it with sound and feeling.

I am standing on a beach, facing the omnipotent ocean. The powerful waves are tumbling in, one after another. A wind blows along with the waves. It snatches my loose hair away from my face. My feet are planted firmly in the damp grainy sand. A sense of solidness comes from the earth. My arms are out from my sides and my fingers are spread wide as though to catch the illusive power from the wind and waves. The wind whips through my hands and the waves roll out of my reach. But I can feel the power as it slides sinuously into me to find all the places that were shrivelled and empty and fill me with the strength that I need to keep moving forward. The fresh clean air breathes new hope into me and carrying this image in my mind, calms me and strengthens my resolve.

Thank you mother nature!
