Saturday, November 2, 2013 — Morning Reflection

What draws me to Hokusai’s wave prints is the way he combines stillness and movement. Here is one of many with Mt Fuji in the distance visible through curls of powerful waves.

You are not here
to solve my problems
Nor are you here
To be the answer
to all of my desires.
My experience of you
is that you are like a wave
that draws me into the deep places

I feel you
Deep Ocean
And I continue
To stand in awe at
how vast you are
as I watch you
come and go.
