Wade in the Water
God’s gonna trouble the Water
It’s Forgiving Fridays! Today’s topic is Forgiving & Intimacy
Coney Island in Brooklyn
Brighton Beach
Long time captive far from my Native Land. By the Rivers of Babylon how can I sing a song of joy.
Then Oshun and Black Moses led me across the wilderness to Freedom.
Small Sand Shark almost washed up on the beach.
Surrounded by kids and one adult who was trying to get the little shark back into the ocean I can only imagine how frightening it must be to have all these foreign two legged creatures gawking and screaming. Fortunately the lifeguard rescued him and returned it home to the sea.
At the beach I feel whole and restored. Dipping my toes and feet into the Ocean, wading in up to my waist I experience a return to childhood, carefree, splashing and playing like I did so many years ago.
Like Naaman the Leper who was instructed to dip 7 times by the prophet I dip and dip again washing away years of pain, sorrow, despair, anger, suffering, sadness and anxiety. Fears drift far away beyond the distant shores. Then gazing at the Horizon I beheld New beginnings for the Lord has troubled the Waters.

Life has come back. You sound wonderful, Deborah.
For now. Life is an up and down rollercoaster experience as opposed to a Disney movie. Each day brings New challenges. I never think I’ve won or I’m healed. All I did was make it through that particular day in one piece. Tomorrow is another story.
Yes, simply make it from one moment to the next. That’s life actually. You never know what the next moment brings.
For me after all I’ve been through a good day is one where I can get out of bed and function. I stopped fooling myself into thinking that I have achieved some sort of victory.
I understand you. But you made it through and that already is a victory!
I suppose to the outside world it is. Others perceive it as an accomplishment. For me it might be years before I can see myself as successful or victorious but for the sake of being able to operate in society I play the role that people expect.
At least you can take more care of yourself now and to what really has meaning to you. Blessings to you, Deborah 💖
Thanks.

I appreciate your support and encouragement.
And I am thankful for being connected to you, Deborah. Lots of love to you and Steven 💖
Oh DeB, this is so beautiful! I love your collage of photos with such freedom, joy and soothing of the little girl who felt so free in the water. 🙂 🙂 Thank you for this gorgeous contribution for #ForgivingFridays. I really missed your presence, and I’m so glad you’re back. The photo of your feet is really great – made me smile! Bless you DeB. Love, Debbie
Thanks. For those two days I felt free. Unbound and unchained to others demands or expectations. It’s always great to walk away and be yourself.

You don’t know how refreshing this is, to see photos of the beach that are not commercial. “At the beach I feel whole and restored. Dipping my toes and feet into the Ocean, wading in up to my waist I experience a return to childhood, carefree, splashing and playing like I did so many years ago. ” I hear you, I feel the same way at the beach, the Ocean does that to you. It rekindles our childhood. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks. Just me and my trusty Samsung Galaxy phone. I get there early around 8:30 am or before. The surrounding neighborhood is mostly Russian immigrants who take their exercise by walking along the beach. I enjoy being out with the early risers. We greyheads nod to each other in silent recognition.
It was a great two beach days. Of course Coney Island beach never closes but after Labor day no more lifeguards so no more ocean dipping. The boardwalk is open year round.
Hopefully with God’s Blessing I will take Stephen to the aquarium which is in the same neighborhood.
I took over 100 photos and couldn’t fit them all here so here is the first link.

I love, love, love your photos. Brings back lots of childhood memories at the Fair.
