As I read your words I remembered a trip I took to Sanibel Florida. I arose one morning at 5:00 a.m. and decided to take a walk on the beach before anyone else would be there. I began in prayer asking The Lord to take all that was in my spirit that was troubling me and wash in away with the next wave that came upon the shore. As I walked I felt all that was in me being swept away by the ocean. Next I felt the water cascading across my feet as I walked along its edge,it was cold to the touch but it was a comforting feeling, knowing that with each touch it was removing the bondage that had gathered in my soul. I began to feel like a child, so I started running down the beach with a strength I did not know I possessed and for some reason I felt the need to sing. The only song that came to my mind was "Frosty The Snowman" and I began to sing it and in the singing, I felt a smile come across my face and I began to laugh out loud at wonderful this all felt. The roar of the ocean could not block out my singing for it was glorious and the birds that had gathered in the morning light seemed to dance across the ocean in delight with each word I sang. When I could run no more I turned around to go back to where I had started and across the sky was the most beautiful sunrise I had ever experienced. I stood at the waters edge and watched as the colors began to filter across the sky and I felt The Lords prescence and when I looked down to see my reflection in the water, it was there I saw not only the woman who I was but the child I had lost looking back at me and it was a moment I have never forgotten, nor have I forgotten what the experience taught me. All of my senses were touched on that morning and it these senses that I try each day to cherish and find comfort in.
Your words reminded me of Dalai Lamas' from Seven Years in Tibet, I know it's pretty unusual to see Brad Pitt perform a 'serious' part, but that movie really touched me, so did your words.
