Hopewell Rocks

Going Deep Guestbook   Feb 15, 2015

Growing up in Ottawa, I was never exposed to the Ocean a whole lot. However, a couple years ago, my family went to PEI and on the way, we stopped at Hopewell Rocks. I researched the Hopewell Rocks and most of the pictures that came up looked like the picture attached. It was during high tide and there were people kayaking. I didn't think much about the Hopewell Rocks and imagined it to just be a pretty "scenery". However, when we arrived, it was during low tide (my parents knew more about it and timed it well!) and approaching the beach of Hopewell Rocks, I realized how amazing it really was! The sand underneath my feet was nice and soft and there were so many sea creatures everywhere! Seeing the beautiful rocks and how huge they were, I realized that there was so much more to Hopewell Rocks than just rocks in the middle of the ocean. There was so much life everywhere that you would not see if it were high tide when the water covered the beach. Everything was so beautiful and seeing all the life that I never imagined there was made me realize that life is so much more than you think. Life is more than just skimming the surface and getting a little sample of the 'scenery' but if you delve deep into life, you'll find so much more meaning, happiness and joy. The picture attached reminds me that if you look past the water, and you delve deep, you'll find life everywhere. Life is full of surprises and unless you go deep, you will never experience the true joy and happiness you were meant to experience.
