There's not much to do, except sit here and watch the tide roll in.

| The tide is out |
The night before last brought us a new moon, which means we had a spring tide -- a greater than average tide occurring during the new and full moons (as opposed to a neap tide, when the difference between high and low tide is least, in the first and third quarters of the moon.).

| Now it's high tide (the old pilings are almost covered in water) |
Watching the waves and the ebb and flow of the tides is, for me, a form of meditation -- no worries, mind empty, focused on the pulse of the ocean, at one with the universe.

We had a cottage on the tidal Potomac for many years. Watching water is so relaxing and mind clearing. Miss that place every day. We do not miss hurricanes.
I also find the ocean relaxing, provided there isn't a storm.
I understand 100%
It sounds like a perfect meditation. :-)
It looks idyllic! I hope you took along some great reading material! Or maybe you don't want to disturb your peaceful ruminations with some one else's ideas? I'm the sort of person who needs to be doing something...sort of cancels out meditation!
Just ahead of the crazy holiday season it is good to take a breath.
Nothing trumps nature. Enjoy.
Good place to write? There is probably buried treasure in that place. :)
