OceanThoughts

The view of the ocean hides away the sins of the world with its vastness.

is a thought I randomly typed out as I was trying to think of what to write today.
So I just started writing and that is the sentence that came out.

I think its a vague connection to the viewing I went to today of Great Grandma Maren.
I've been finding out the past couple of weeks just how great of a person she was.
How caring and helpful and how many people knew her.

It seems like just being in her presence....brightened the world.

So....the view of the ocean....its rather magnificent.
To stand on the beach, bare feet digging into the sand, the wind blowing as you gaze out towards the horizon. There is nothing there, nothing in the way. Just the ocean going out as far as the eye can see.
And because it is soo vast. Its hard to see the 'deformities' that might be hiding among the waves.

So in a sense...the ocean is like a bandage....
Being along it. Just you and the ocean, the waves and the sand, its a calming soothing influence. Its hard to be dark when by the ocean. There's just something about it.

And in a similar way. We have people around us, that are like oceans. They can calm and help us and even brighten our day.

That is how I'm beginning to think of Great Grandma Maren.
An ocean of love and comfort where worries just didn't seem as important anymore.
We didn't really focus on ourselves when we were with Grandma Maren,
but on others.

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
