Does the Wave Worship the Ocean?

Since it's Sunday, I've been contemplating the idea and practice of worship.

Personally, I tend towards reverence instead of formal worship in my own spiritual life.

To me, reverence is respecting what inspires awe.

I don't have to understand God, All That Is, the Tao, or any of the other ways humans have tried to bottle up and describe the mechanics of the creation that we are a part of, live in and return to when our bodies take their last breath.

But I do revere it.

I sense the power and intelligence that is within and part of all that is, and although I don't fear it, since I am part of it, I stand in awe of creation.

Today, this got me thinking about the ocean and how waves briefly rise up, momentarily separating from the sea, only to peak, fall, and dissolve back into the very source they came from.

I feel like that's the best I can do to explain what I believe regarding my spiritual take on things as of right now.

The older I get, the less inclined I feel to have to understand it all.

I just want to enjoy it while I can.

Happy contemplating today....

Random fact about me: I like to shop for clothes at Eddie Bauer, Columbia Outfitters, and Chico's (for fancy duds).
