Beach Church

"Everyday, people stray away from the church and go back to God." - Lenny Bruce I kneel upon an ocean beach to pay attention to some creature in the sand. A choir of seagulls breaks out in song and swells my soul and the surf roars, “Let us spray.” Many little crabs scurry amongst the rocks to take up a collection of what there is there of sustenance. Their simple prayer: "Please, feed us and save us from wild bird flocks.” The sea tide rushes in and through crevices it bursts; I hear its word whilst it sings me a doxology for the trinity as beautiful as any church services. The only thing I miss is the sermon. Nonetheless, I feel a better person.
