I am priviledged to live within a couple of minutes walk of the beach. When I just need space to try and work out what is going on and need to try and work out what on earth I can do next in difficult situations I can just go and walk.
I find that the beach is a thin place for me, a place where I can almost feel God's touch as I look out at the beauty of his creation. It's a place where I can find courage and realise however alone I am I am not alone if that makes sense.
Yet the beach has it's problems. It is a public space and so whilst I may feel like sitting on the beach sobbing my heart out when life gets a bit tough and just feeling the healing the atmosphere gives wash over me I can't. Yet in it's own way this is good. I have to remain tough on the beach, dealing with my own problems rather than imposing on others and creating more problems than I solve.
So anyway what I think I am trying to say is I like the beach :)
