I dedicate this Mother's Day post to the one I consider the true mother of us all, The Ocean...The great encompassing Sea. That from which we emerged and to which we shall return.

I could get more personal and dedicate it to my mother__my poor mother, who got much more than she ever asked for when she gave birth to a daughter far beyond her ken in giving life to me, but I've told those stories before and I'll give her a day of rest instead as a gift.

I always felt the Ocean was the source. It's a power of such magnitude and beauty.
More than any other place when I walk upon her shores or into her waves, I feel embraced, encompassed and whole.

Happy Mother's Day.
