Serenity
Serenity
A bright full moon reflecting in the ocean waves. The stars have just begun to peek through the dark blue twilight veil. A lighthouse keeps a silent vigil. You hear the ocean waves crashing. It is at the same time both turbulent and … serene.

The lighthouse expresses feelings of security, awareness, and watchfulness; the wave crashing into the large rock expresses chaos, confrontation, and turbulence; the cresting wave turned turquoise by the moonlight represents beauty and the surreal; the bright full moon symbolizes a fullness of knowledge offering light to an otherwise dark world; the expanse of ocean and the star speckled sky represent the vastness and opportunity of existence; understanding all of these together in balance represents serenity.
