Each wave carries a teaching, each tide a lesson in persistence and release.

Waves of Wisdom

Each wave carries a teaching, each tide a lesson in persistence and release.

Patience

The sea never rushes,
yet shapes every shore.
A thousand years
of gentle persistence
can move mountains.

Letting Go

Every wave
returns to source,
teaching us
that coming back
is not failure—
it's completion.
