Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Security

Here is my entry for this week’s Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge with the topic of Security.  ENJOY.

The Pacific Ocean in Oregon.

When I was in my late teens and early twenties, the Pacific cean brought me security.  I went to college and worked in a city that had a long pier (Ventura, California) that I walked nearly everyday, once I owned a car.  Nearly 40 years ago,  I would walk to the end of the pier and just let the wind blow through my hair and listen to the ocean waves.  Standing just staring out into the vast ocean is when I felt safe and protected by the Universe.  It was my place to get feel peace and know all was well.

My young life was not always happy.  My mom was verbally abusive I feared going home.  My dad was useless since I disowned him years ago when he molested me at a young age.  I just considered him the guy my mother lived with.  The ocean became my refuge until I  was able to financially support myself and move far away.

  13. The ocean is constant, powerful, awe-inspiring, nonjudgmental and has tons of negative ions hanging around to bring you balance. What could be better? I’m glad you found your security.
