East coast, early autumn 2005.
It was cool and windy.
My body and mind was enchanted with those beautiful waves.
Ebbs and tides came and gone.
I walked towards the borderline of the waves patting onto the shore.
Found a safe place I thought and sat down on a big stone.
Watching the different shapes of waves is my favorite.
They all looked different, but came in rhythm.
Sounded that each one sang out a melody, and became a tremendous chorus when they were near the final stop.
Couldn’t help close my eyes to enjoy this wonderful moment…
All of a sudden, I heard a sound like a thunder.
Wasn’t aware of the scale of an upcoming huge wave.
As soon as my eyes were opened, the tide ran over me.
I was totally soaked.
What an unexpected surprise!
I was naked, fragile, and not protective at all in Nature!
So I took off socks and sneakers.
Strong winds couldn’t blow them try.
But they eased my pain, the pain I have been suffered for long time.
Tides walked away with my sorrow, and came back with new hopes.
As what I always encounter in my life.
Whenever I think I find a safe place to stay, a right person to trust, or a path that I can take with no regret.
Things always happen at this moment, the moment that I take away my mask and shield, put down my sword and knife.
I am hurt without any protection.
Isn’t it ironic?
Lessons in life always visit me at the weakest and unprotected moment!
Am I protective enough to take all challenges and avoid injuries at anytime?
