Gentle waves of peace.


"Slowly and subtly, I discovered that
the silence was overwhelmingly blissful.
It was almost as though
a gentle wave of peace rolled over me."

Susan Smith Jones, Ph. D

I am thankful for the majestic splendor of the Oregon coast which allows us to observe the waves rolling over the rocks, creating beautiful, cascading waterfalls. It is not necessarily silent around the ocean, yet the sound is comforting and peaceful, always a pleasure to hear.
