Ocean Waves

I have always felt a very close connection to the ocean.

The ablity to be able to hear sound is priceless, and the sound of the ocean crashing against the shore is something I would never trade.

 

"There's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away." ~Sarah Kay

 

Sometimes I feel like it's crazy how deep my affections are for the sea. I live three hours away from the closest ocean and I visit the shoreline only about 3 times a year. After reading the Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan, my feelings for the ocean have grown stronger than ever. I have a strange since of connection to poseidon, god of the sea, even though I know he doesn't exist. Jesus is the true God of the sea, if only I could exchange the tide of that feeling and make them turn into a deep connection with the God of the universe...

 

 

"As water reflects the face, so does one's life reflects the heart."

~Proverbs 27:19

The Dance of the Forest

I was looking out a tattered window, and glancing up at the evening sky.

I have never taken the time to appreciate how gorgeous trees are when there's a slight breeze making them dance as if they're talking to one another about old times, and laughter fills their being.

I noticed the leafless trees swaying ever so elegantly back and forth, branches slightly locking with the tree next door, seeming as if they were desperately reaching out and trying to grasp each other's hands.

Beauty is sometimes found in the most simplest of things.

Sometimes you just need to look up.

Shine like a Star

     Have you ever just taken the time to turn your gaze up to the heavens at night fall and appreciate the wonderful and all glorious shining stars that men of old took the time to align and connect them into pictures and folklore?
     It's such a wonderful experience to just stare at the little glowing orbs of light that are millions of miles away but yet make a pin point dot in the sky right outside my window.
     I always wanted a window seat and a balcony in which I could simply sit and look out my window and fall asleep, or open my window doors and sit cross-legged in amazement of the stars.

     My favorite constellation is Orion, the hunter- as I like to call him, the archer. He was one of the first constellations I ever learned and is still very easy for me to point out in the night sky:

 

"Orion's seven brightest stars form a distinctive hourglass-shaped asterism, or pattern, in the night sky. Four stars—Rigel, Betelgeuse, Bellatrix and Saiph—form a large roughly rectangular shape, in the centre of which lie the three stars of Orion's Belt—Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka. Descending from the 'belt' is a smaller line of three stars (the middle of which is in fact not a star but the Orion Nebula), known as the hunter's 'sword'.
Many of the stars are luminous hot blue supergiants, with the stars of the belt and sword forming the Orion OB1 Association. Standing out by its red hue, Betelgeuse may nevertheless be a runaway member of the same group."

There's still so much more to Orion then the paragraph I copied, you can go to Wikipedia and learn about the deep space nebula's connected to Orion's constellation.
 Everything about the myths and folklore just makes me feel so close to something a lot of people have missed.

Thank you for visiting my blog!

Have a great week!
