Like debris scattered on the beach following the crash of a big wave in the ocean.
Our lives can sometimes appear shattered and random.
Pieces of our past washed up on shore, broken or drenched.
Just lying there covered in sand and seaweed, drying in the sun and wind.
We often carry the burdens of our lives like waves of stress and struggle, literally dragging them with us wherever we go.
With time and pressure they build into those giant waves that we haul along through the never ending of the ocean of our lives.
Until one day we reach the shore and we crash mercilessly onto the beach, scattering all our troubles into just so much debris!
In the light of day it is revealed just how insignificant most of our burdens really are.
Nothing but a few bits of random memories sloshing back and forth in the surf or bleaching in the sun.
What once seemed so huge is shown to be something small and insignificant.
Yet like a shipwrecked survivor we have persevered.
We stand up, leave our destroyed burdens behind and walk away.
Into a new life.
The ability to change is inherent to each of us.
Your beach is out there somewhere and all waves eventually reach the shore.
Love Papa.
Love it.
