tonight i drove home* between the full moon rising in the east and the sunset gleaming orangeredgold behind catalina in the west, the ocean emanating all the light it has soaked up and stored all day. and as i drove, i found myself declaring my love to the ocean. the light. the sun. the moon. the earth. and it made perfect sense to me why people worship the heavens and the earth.
*i'm house-, dog-, bird-, and turtle-sitting in laguna beach this week.
Beautiful! I didn't spend tons of time at the beach growing up but just the sight of it makes me feel at home!
ReplyDeleteyou picked a good day to begin your worship; this year, the 22nd of december was winter solstice...
ReplyDeletei hadn't made that connection, john byron. thanks for pointing it out. i had been wishing earlier in the day that i could be at one of the ancient sacred sites for sunrise. maybe some year...
