WONDERFUL WAVES OF INSPIRATION
A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through water, air, minds, and solid bodies. From tiny ripples to tsunamis, from seismic to cosmic, waves move us.
Waves keep change constant. Ocean waves are obedient to the moon. While love and fear come and go -- in waves.
Whether you ride waves or overcome them, whether you make waves or are shaped by them, you are affected by their beauty and their power.
We’ve gathered beautiful quotes and magnificent images of waves to move you as you roll through summer. Check them out below.
