Still I Rise Podcast
"The Ocean's Edge" by Pella (Pamela) Hayes
An excerpt from Pam's Story:
"There’s a new energy in the air making watching a summer thunderstorm magical. Hot water vapor in the air hugs my skin and drapes my body in a loving embrace, honeysuckle summer air, and living alongside loving people with good food, laughter, and joy is my new normal. It’s a lens few can see through, a perspective shift I’m privileged to enjoy the rest of my life.
Different, what I see and feel now embodies love and peace. Looking back, I remember what happened last year, sick with heartache as it was bred by intoxication with the present. I’m sad Mom passed, but I’m smiling because what we had is as rare as a four-leaf clover.
Today the water is calm at the ocean’s edge. So, if the whole world is shaking and nothing feels right, know wherever I am no matter how far, I’ll never fail to navigate the waters and feel empowered at its embrace. Today I found a piece of home at my ocean’s edge. Although it’s scary and I may have rather spent my summer in a place that doesn’t get stormy weather, I dive in and taste its salty specialness.
From my ocean’s edge to yours:
