Abersoch

Abersoch. A beautiful seaside town in North West Wales. My home for two weeks a year for the past 14 years. It is here that I made many deep friendships, went crab fishing, did 8 water somersaults in a row and acted out some rather strange dramas. It is here that I invented the biscuit game which involves getting into the shape of a biscuit and everyone guessing which one you are. From this developed the poo and fruit games. Classics. It is also a place that I have felt so close to God. Quiet times spent on the beach at eight in the morning just sitting and listening to God's voice. Staring at His creation and realising that it is for me. He made it for me to enjoy. Real honest times of questioning, of being oh so angry. Understanding scripture - that Jesus is to me what the sheep was to Isaac. Also mourning the loss of my grandparents who both died when I was there. Seeing in others Jesus. The excitement when a child realises who Jesus is or asks a question. Abersoch. One of the many homes that I have had along the way.

Abersoch

My feet tread heavily

the beach wet and cool.

Sun above

wraps a body tired

close.

All still but the sea's

constant beat.

Beautiful.
