These are a few of my favorite things...

I love standing on Balboa Peir late at night, watching the waves crash onto the shore. The ocean rolls and sways, glittering in the moonlight, finally cresting into a wave. The white foam of the crashing wave stands out brilliantly on the dark sand. I am surrounded by fishermen and strolling passerbys. Their conversations and laughter fade into a comforting murmer. I am alone, lost in reflection or in no thought at all, just basking in the glory of God's creation.
