Waves of Lake Superior

... The waves don't look very high. Someone else is already in the water swimming. I get in the water and the waves suddenly reveal their force. I should be scared and should be fighting just to survive. But Lake Superior is gentle with me; the waves lift me up and carry me to the shore, like a lullaby...

Ocean Waves

via Shigeyoshi

... I'm at an ocean beach. The sand is soft and golden and the waves are gently crashing on the shoreline. The water is a deep blue-green but the crest of the waves are crystal clear, like molten glass that is stretched and cooled by the gentlest artist. The waves are getting bigger, higher, more powerful. I'm in the water. A huge wave takes me - I'm powerless to its force.

"Oh no!" I think, "I'm going to get whomped!" After towing me back and then hurtling me forward, the wave ever so gently deposits me (upright) on the shoreline. I'm happy...
