Description
A storm surge on the North Shore Of Oahu produced this amazing crescendo of powerful waves crashing ashore, one after the other in quick succession. Giving the impression of a stairway of waves leading up to the sky! A wondrous sight to behold.
My soul is full of longing
for the secret of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean
sends a thrilling pulse through me.”

In this aqueous ,cerulean blue turbulence, the North Shore’s surf erupts in a liquid staircase—each breaker a brilliant turquoise tread ascending to the firmament with frothy fastidiousness— the Creator Himself displaying His magnificent power in the ocean’s tides and currents. Here, salt’s sacred sacrament foams into infinity, proving that when waves rehearse His crescendo, even the angels in Heaven must applaud the ocean’s impeccable choreography. Ona personal note I love your quote, Debra, of the blessings that emerge when we pause to observe the beauty all around us.
Debra Banks replied:
Coleen, I love what you have written. Thank you for taking the time to gift me such a wonderful comment and kind words.
