Power

When it feels like everything's rolling over you, drowning you in emotion or pressure, be the water and not the rock. You are powerful, too.

lucy huntzinger says:

It was exhilarating to watch the ocean dash itself on the shore in great waves of green and white. Mist from the spray danced in the air all along the shoreline, though the day was clear. I loved it! Thank you all for the comments and faves.

I can almost hear the waves come crashing down. The description is a powerful message for so many people I'm sure. Thanks for that.

You know, it was for myself. I can feel so overwhelmed sometimes that I have to remind myself I am not powerless or immovable.
