"Waiting"
“The sun is rising, and the day is on it’s way. I sit here waiting for the water to come so that I can play. The itchy sand between my toes, but I can’t move. I sit here waiting for the water to tickle my feet and to lift me. There are some people here wanting to fish the sea, which is still moving in. But they must wait as the water comes, for someone has special need of me. The master needs to sail across the sea. He rises in me and addresses the crowds gathered on the shore. They are waiting to hear his wisdom. He has come to show us His Father in heaven…. waiting for us!”
When staying in Jersey, CI, I often like to take very early morning walks along the beach of St Brelades Bay. At one end, all the boats wait for the tide to rise. This particular morning a storm was coming, and the anticipation was even greater.

Like the simplicity
Bradley Shawn ... replied
I guess I was lucky that there weren’t as many boat tethered up as usual. That gave me more space to keep it simple. The sky was an unexpected bonus.
