Writing 101: Where Would I Go?

"Sunset in Cape May"

Sunset at Sunset Beach

I am participating in Writing 101 on WordPress.com

If I could zoom through time and space at the speed of light I would go to the ocean: my ocean, Sunset Beach, Cape May, New Jersey. I will always go to the ocean. It’s where I am most whole and most at peace. Standing on Sunset Beach at Cape May Point at the end of the world before Mother Ocean fills me with the belief that I am part of the infinite universe. It is here, at the end of the land, wrapped in Mother Ocean’s comforting embrace where I believe most deeply in God’s grace and glory.

Here at the southernmost point in New Jersey you can watch the sun set below the horizon without an obstruction. The sun dips below the horizon as day fades into night. The quiet and stillness of the moment when the dark overtakes the light and blue hour begins is awe-inspiring. It could very well be my imagination but at that moment when the darkness settles over the island the world stops spinning and a hush and stillness blankets the land. All is right with the world for a few fleeting quiet moments.

April 6, 2012 (Good Friday)

We went to the ocean today. I figure that you can be no closer to God than you are at the water’s edge. The object you see out in the water is the sunken remains of the USS Atlantus, an experimental concrete ship from World War I.
