El mar

God never makes the same thing twice.
Yet time and again, He makes the same thing.
Each time, it is different, and each time it is the same.

At the island of Cozumel on Tuesday May 29, the sea, el mar, was like nothing I had ever seen before.
The water was a thousand shades of unnamable blue, and el mar itself was almost like glass.  The waves were small - so small that the ocean looked like a pond.  It was a reviving sight.  El mar, the Spanish, sounds more majestic to me than "the sea" or "the ocean", but what it is called does not matter terribly much; it reminded me of the length, width, breadth, and mystery that is the Love of God for me, the sinner.  And that was more than enough.
