We go to the sea at night and stand along the shore. We listen to the urgent roll of the waves reaching ever higher until they reach their limits and can go no farther, then return to an inward peace until the moon calls again for their presence on these shores. So it is with a fulfilling vision that we may attain?for a brief moment. Then it is gone, only to return again in the deepening awareness of a presence that holds all things together.
