Imagine yourself standing barefoot on a serene beach, where gentle waves rhythmically caress the shore. As each wave gracefully rolls in, it playfully embraces your toes, only to retreat, carrying with it the grains of sand beneath your feet. With each passing wave, their strength ebbs and flows, but their ultimate destination remains constant - the boundless ocean.

Inspired by the profound wisdom of Chidi Anagonye from the television series 'The Good Place,' The Wave Returns to the Ocean serves as a musical exploration of the profound spiritual journey of life and the eternal question of existence.

Throughout our lives, we traverse a myriad of phases - transformation, growth, grief, celebration - much like the undulating motion of a wave gathering momentum as it traverses the sea. Yet, in the grand tapestry of existence, we ultimately return to the cosmic origins from which we emerged. Like the wave that surrenders itself to the vast ocean, we too reunite with the universe, finding our place in the eternal cycle.

 

In this composition, the music embraces the fluidity of life's journey, weaving together melodies that rise and fall, harmonies that ebb and flow, and rhythms that mirror the timeless cadence of the ocean's tides. The Wave Returns to the Ocean invites listeners to contemplate the beauty and mystery of our existence, resonating with the eternal truth that, in the end, we all return to the vast, infinite ocean of existence
