For various reasons, the word that comes to mind when I look at this photo is “peaceful.” I realized long ago that being near the ocean or other large body of water gave me a feeling of peace. The sun and mild breeze add to the peaceful feeling. Peace is so much more than the absence of conflict (worldly peace).

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.

John 14:27
