Healing at Rush Cove: By Pauline DeForest

When I gaze out over Rush Cove
and see the beauty all around,
it totally fills me up,
like I cannot get enough of the
tranquil beauty of this area, my special spot. I was only introduced to this area about 20 years ago briefly and then again 8 years ago more permanently.

I fell in love with Rush Cove and all hits hidden beauty at first sight. I long to spend all my time there, to explore, to watch, to enjoy and most of all, see more of that beauty yet to show itself. It is the only place on earth I feel at peace. I can sit for hours staring just at Rush Cove alone, she tells stories if you listen carefully and the dance, well, the dance is always different every single time you watch it.

Once you understand the story you come to realize that it has captured your inner most thoughts and then in return asks for your story, of which I have told many. It draws your inner most fears, secrets and memories and asks for a dance. Rush Cove does not judge me, punish me, or ignore me; it wraps her beauty around me and holds me tight.

I always thought, when I was a child, my life was not so grand, but as I got older and wiser and met my friend Rush Cove, my life has been the most wonderful journey which I would not change for anything. Rush Cove let me reflect on all its beauty, to see that I had a grand life after all. It drew me into her knowing I did need some guidance and reflection on my life. Once that dance began it unfolded many things in my memory I had forgotten or simply put aside of no importance. Somehow she knew I just needed that little bit of comfort to let it all flow out. I am grateful.

Rush Cove also gave the same courtesy to my Mother when my Dad passed away: she sat at the shore for hours, not speaking; I dared not interrupt as I knew Rush Cove was asking my Mother for that dance. As I watched from afar, I could see Rush Coveâ€™s beauty and peacefulness had reached into my Motherâ€™s inner most thoughts and held her tight. My Mother has never really said, to this day, anything about the healing of Rush Cove that day, but I do know one thing for sure, my Mother danced and was at peace.

Rush Cove and I have a very special bond and will have to the end of my days. I wish others could experience her as I have, oh yes many have seen her outer beauty, but most have never captured her inner beauty as I have. And when my days on this planet are no more, I will be visiting my friend Rush Cove to dance yet again one last time and I will truly be at peace.
