Open Ocean

Took a morning to spend some time reading and thinking about life.  Growing up in California, I always loved going to the beach to get some clarity.  The ocean has always been the perfect place for me to unwind with God, breathe in fresh air, and just think.  So whether through words said or written, pictures taken figurative and literally, I just needed some time to stretch out, pray, and think.  Afterwards I walked around and enjoyed soaking in the surf and seeing these guys in action...

One of my favorites of the day (below), a man swimming alone out into open ocean.  I felt very attached to this action, like in my life, constantly moving out into open uncertainty, sometimes grasping desperately for air or a chance to hold my head above the water... deep right?
