"At this elemental meeting place of earth and
sea and sky,
I sense your call to look inward
even as I gaze outward at the horizon.

"The waves wash over my feet
and I sink gradually into the sand,
rooting me in the earth and the sea.

"Simply by being here
I know I am part
of the rhythm of the tide and the energy of the
surf.

"I am a unique expression
of the endless and varied stream of living
things
whose life is your life.

"With each wave I sense
the giving and the taking, the tears and the
laughter,
the longing and the fulfillment of all living
things.

"With each wave I am touched
by the constancy of your presence.
And I dare to believe that all shall be well."
