Turn around..

The Tao of the Sea and Sand ~ Photograph By Wayne Wirs

Turn around..

Walking backward into the ocean..
Wondering if the next wave will hit me hard or be gentle..
Afraid of the unknown I step into…
based on the memories of the past waves that hit me.

Just turn around..
Now you can see the waves as they form..
Each one has nothing to do with the waves that passed by..
Each wave is new.

Walking backwards into the future..
Looking into the past..
Afraid of the unknown I step into..
based on the memories of the past experiences that hit me.

Just turn around..
Now step into the future.
Each moment is new.
