When I was a young woman I often ran away to the beach whenever adult responsibility overwhelmed me.  The ocean was a soothing place for me.  Still is, actually.  But, the other day I was watching my brother and sister-in-law boogie boarding in the ocean and it struck me that the ocean is anything but calm.    In fact, as Guy and Rejeanne rode the waves, I was struck by how much it looked like life.  Especially life shared with someone you love.

Before they met

Taking on the challenge of a life together

Learning to be together

Sometimes needing to go our own way for a bit

Coming back to each other

Harmony
