This I Believe

THIS I BELIEVE

                I believe in waves. Waves are to me, nature that keeps on being reborn every splash it takes. Sometimes it can pull you in, sometimes it can take you out. Waves make me calm. There are small waves, strong waves, big waves, waves were you can swim in. Waves are fun. You can surf, scuba dive, play, even go boating or fishing.

               I remember when I was younger. I lived in California. My mom would always take me to Santa Cruz (an amusement park in the south of San Francisco) or the beach. We would collect rocks and sea shells. Some beaches even had sand mountains near the ocean. My brother and I would play near the water. The beach was empty. No people, no lifeguards. It was sort of 'our beach'. Even though there was no one there, I felt so relaxed. I couldn't go in the waves because there were twice the size of NY. I only played by the shore. It wasn't clear water though. The water had a muddy, blue type. To get there, it was an 1 hr. and 1/2. It was enjoyable. I remember the feeling of going to the beach. Whenever I put my hand in the water, I can feel the waves energy flowing with my hands and going into swirls. I love waves and I love the beach!

          I believe in having a place where you feel like yourself. My place, of course, is the beach. Try thing out! I still like to go to the beach but its not like it back in the open palace. DREAM. Use your imagination. No  matter how old you are, you can always have a place that reflects you;)
