The Impression that I get

To me high tide and low tide are like a ying and a yang...They are polar opposites but you can't have one without the other...To be honest I never really understood how the tides worked...I remember something vaguely from class about the moon...If I remember correctly it had something to do with time it set and arose...I really don't remember if was a direct connection or not...It's really not important it would just be an interesting fact to know...

Besides one day last week I when I was outside the tide was low in late morning and now this week the tide was low more towards the later afternoon...I just find it curious what affects it...because it seemed this morning the tide seemed all the way out...

I don't quite lately but lately I've been finding myself more drawn to the beach...especially watching the water...Lately I've been very fascinated by watching the water...There's something unexplainably hypnotic about it...I'm not sure I can quite explain it...I love listening to the water during high tide make it's loud swooshy noise agains the rocks...During low tide I love watching how the water leaves it's imprint on the sand as it retreats...And I love watching how the color of the ocean mysteriously changes...I love how it reflects the world around it...It's almost as if it has a life of it's own...Like this morning the sky was a smoky color almost like a slate gray and so was the water...In a unique way it was very beautiful...There was this mysterious glow to it...It was like the opposite of a glitter, but it wasn't at all dull...Later on after the sun came shining the water was a bright blue and had this very shimmery shiny glow to it...Both sides are beautiful... It's just a question of taking the time to stop and appreciate the many different facets of nature's beauty...
