When we think of waves, we think of the ocean. But everything moves in waves: sand, air, fire, light, even the earth beneath our feet. Life doesn’t move in a straight line, it moves in waves — failure and success, sorrow and joy, anger and forgiveness. Waves can crush us. But they can also be ridden. And in many ways, life is about learning to do just that.

So true! 🙂 The only thing though… beware of the undertow.
Indeed, Nicole, and life offers plenty of those.
Great point
The sharks are no bargain either…
Very true, Bob.
I grew up surfing on the Texas coast, Port Aransas and Galveston. I do know the power and danger the ocean can bestow, and I also appreciate the beauty of sitting on a board watching the Dolphins play around me as the sun rises. I don’t surf anymore, too old and no balance, but my son and both grandsons do, they live on the beach on North Padre Island. The ocean has always been a large part of my life.
That’s so cool, Phil.
Love the Vikrmn quote. Waves like everything can be dangerous, but you can’t live in fear 🤣😎🙃
Absolutely love this, Mitch!

I love this, Mitch! Thank you for these amazing pictures and quotes. Such wonderful reminders of how everything in life moves in waves. If I had consistently “calm” waters, I doubt I’d learn as much, my friend! Blessings to you and yours! 🩵
Likewise, dear friend.
Stunning images. Thanks, Mitch. 🙂
My pleasure, Nancy.
Beautiful pics!
Our emotions definitely feel like waves. Some days, they can be quiet, while others they can sweep us away.
Thanks for sharing.
My privilege, Chanel.
Love this, Mitch.
Life – Waves ❤️

I appreciate your like of my post, “Isaiah Chapters 49-50;” you are very gracious.
I am constantly learning new perspectives with so many of your posts Mitch.
Delighted to hear that, Randy.
“Life doesn’t move in a straight line, it moves in waves — failure and success, sorrow and joy, anger and forgiveness. ”
This is EXACTLY my realisation. You said it more profoundly.
Beautiful post, Mitch. “waves can be ridden.” I needed this reminder today. Thank you!
My privilege, Ab.
I love this post, Mitch! The pics and quotes are amazing, but the counsel to ride the waves rather than be crushed by them is great encouragement and a life changing perspective.
Thanks, Peggy. 🧡
