I took this picture on January 1, 2020. The start of a new year, a new decade. I felt blessed to be standing at a place where I feel God’s presence so profoundly. The constant rise and fall of the waves, whether large and crashing or gentle and rolling, remind me of God’s ever presence. I closed my eyes and stood in silent prayer, allowing my breath to sync with the sound of the ocean, as the waves rolled in and rolled out. I believe God is in the waves, in the sound of the waves. Listen, just listen. And I believe God is in my breath, the whisper in my breath, moving in and out of my body. Listen, just listen.
