We can not tame the sea

One night when I was away I went down to the beach at dusk and spent an hour just looking out to sea. The waves crash at my feet, and I can taste the salt in the air.

I love that we can not tame the sea.

We have caged wild animals, encrouched on forests and dammed rivers.

But we can not tame the sea.

The sea will do what the sea wants.

It has no master except The One who controls all.

All are tossed amoung the waves without thought.

The waves eat up the shore with white hands,

and no one can stop them from withdrawing again.

I love that we can not tame the sea.
