Sunrise.
I woke up this morning unexpectedly at 5:30am. I’ve been sleeping terribly of late. My mind swirling with thought and emotion.
I’ve been wanting to catch a sunrise over the ocean, so I figured there was no better day than today. It was cold, but I decided to head up to my favorite spot in this sweet little town I currently call home.
The mast. A sunken ship from years ago has now become a beacon of hope for me. I’ve walked past this countless times since childhood. Watched people swim out to it as a child, watched it become enveloped by beach as the sands shifted over the years. I’ve cried here. Smiled here. Fallen in love here. Now I come to pray, meditate, reflect, and send my dreams, hopes & wishes out to the sea. Hopeful they come back to me.
Life is full of ups & downs, like a boat drifting over the waves. I’m currently in a dip … which only means I’ll be rising to the top again.
In the meantime, I’ll enjoy the ride best I can. And I’ll keep facing the world with love. 🌅 ❤️
