HOME

I sat (and walked) at the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama today, like I’ve been doing since getting here on February 2nd. Tears came. Glad I had my journal with me because all of a sudden words poured out of me…

The crashes of the waves
how they soothe my soul.
It’s like a calling I can’t resist.

I must go at least dip my toes
in the chilly water & let it wash
away any worries.

As I see the waves crest & watch them go back out,
I let the cares, stress, anxiety…
any negative energy go with them.

Breathing in & out with the flow of the waves…
oh my heart feels full of so much love & peace.
I’m so overwhelmed that tears slowly fall down
my cheeks & I taste the saltiness of them on my lips…
it mixes with the salty air.

These aren’t tears of a sad soul.
no, these are tears of a soul soothed…
a soul that is soothed. a soul that is home – one with the water.

I am alive.
I am happy.
I am home.

Aaaah… this place. It does things to me. I don’t know how to explain it other than what I Just said.

Until next time,
Tish
