Lalalalalalala Life is Wonderful
I realized the other day that I am getting used to Hawaii a bit. The beautiful flowers and palm trees that I get to see everyday, the great people here, the sunsets, the warm weather, etc. As a result of this realization, I am trying to be extra thankful for all the blessings here! Just today I noticed that the ocean is truly different every day. Sometimes the horizon line just fades away into nothing, and other days there is a very clean line between sky and ocean. Sometimes the water is grey, extra deep blue, or aqua...perfect for looking at fish. Sometimes the water is rough, or completely flat! Either way, the ocean is beautiful and I will never tire of looking at it. But then I thought about it, and came to the conclusion that the ocean never really changes, it just appears like it is changing. It will always be the ocean, nothing can change that. God is kinda like the ocean - some people view Him in different ways, but He will always be God, and no one (and nothing) will ever be able to change that. How do you view the ocean?
Cheers,

My apartment is on a hill just up from the beach and I have a great view of the ocean from here. You're totally right about it always changing (the way we percieve it I mean). Some days are windy and the waves get really big and there are white-caps everywhere that create these amazing patterns... sometimes it's very cloudy and everything takes on this cool slate grey color, some days the clouds are so dark- and the sun breaks through an opening and casts rays of light from a side angle, creating a huge lighting contrast off of each wave (one side almost black, the other side- gleaming.. with whitecaps to top them off). Some days it's sunny and still as glass. I love living on the ocean. I can't imagine how much I'll miss it if I ever move away. Maybe I'll just stay here the rest of my life. Mmmmm.... that sounds pretty good (as long as I can still travel now and then).
