Quiet Rest

The rush of the sound of waves suddenly fills your senses as you arrive at the top of the dunes.

You feel of the wind meets your face, and suddenly you're in a different atmosphere entirely.

Did you feel it change?

It's hard to remember the hustle and bustle that you just left behind.

Now aware of your surroundings and captivated by the beauty that stretches before you as far as the eye can see, you feel your self sigh gently and relax into it - this moment is beautiful.


The clouds and waves create the blue expanse that delivers a sense of freedom to your soul, and invigorating life to your entire body.

You begin to feel like a young child again, you feel like you could run and play in the waves.

Time loosens itself into an open frame and the day easily slips away, you only become aware of its passing as the sun makes its way through the clouds and begins to dip below the horizon filling the sky with a vivid expression of light.

Playfully moving through skies above light is a palette of softened hues left behind on the other side of the sunset.


The constancy of the song of the sea soothes your soul and you find that your thoughts are clearer and more ready for new inspiration which now easily drips gently down into your spirit.

This incredible majestic glory, with its shifting colours and moods, its ebb and flow, its stunning artistry is the ability of the Great Artist, who loves to leave His signature on all his creation - throughout nature in everything that you behold in awe.

The constancy of God's creative goodness is a source of refreshment and a place of quiet rest, if you take the time to experience it.

May you be drawn to the song of hope, and the song of the sea...
