I stand in wonder of nature. Nature shows a powerful display. Usually, the coast of Venice is calm and serene. But with the winter winds wildly blowing, the whole town was out to see the water in fury at the coast. The rare scene at a normal safe haven.
I am not sure if I have ever seen the waves this wild at the jetty. I stood in awe upon the rocks, feeling the force of the wind against my body, and seeing all the white crests of agitated waves pounding the shore. Surfers long for these days, and they are out, floating on top of the churning waters. Of course, photos do not adequately capture the waves, the intense roar of wind, and the sounds of the waves coming in. Big splashes against the rocks suddenly appear as we stood there on the rocks.
It was amazing. A beauty in its own way. A dangerous beauty of nature. Nature doing what it is made to do. To witness such a different scene of wild, untamed nature. It is different kind of appreciation, with awe of the power it wields. We can only stand by and watch in wonder and wide eyes.
The glory of God is displayed in the quiet mornings as flowers slowly open, but also in the roar of the crashing waves on the coast, with winds chilled and unrelenting.
Excitement and variety expands to fill our moments, with just the short drive to the jetty, where everyone was gathering to see a rare wild day. Hopefully all with eyes wide open in wonder.
