What Can the Waves Teach Us?

Looking back on our week at the Outer Banks, I think about the waves. Every day I heard the steady rhythm of the Atlantic waves – as I relaxed on the beach, when I was at the pool, in the evening as we sat and visited on the deck of our house. We could even climb the last flight of steps, up to the highest deck, and watch the waves breaking on shore.

Waves can teach us a number of things. Rough seas can teach us how to really appreciate calm waters. Waves, coupled with wind, can give us an appreciation for living inland! Waves can remind us that there is a steady rhythm to life. Waves teach us that it can be fun to play in the water, and at the same time teach us to respect the power of Mother Nature.

Waves – I wonder what they can teach you?
