The waves crash against the beach

Slapping against your ankles

Cascading back towards the ocean

Sweeping the sand out from under you

Leaving your feet

Buried under sand

Rooted

Steady

Strong

Let the ocean waves sweep away your fears

Let the trees fill your lungs with oxygen

Let the wind lift you up

Let the sun warm your soul

Let the ground hold you steady

Let the Earth give you strength
