There is a certain magic to be discovered during a walk on the beach. Somehow all of your troubles and all that is weighing on your mind and your heart is left behind. Bit by bit your troubles are wiped away by the sand with each step you take. Suddenly you feel calm and relaxed as you turn to make your return trip down the beach. Only this time you are mentally at peace. The waves feel more pleasant as they wash over your toes. The sound of the waves is tranquil and comforting. The salt aroma from the sea is as fresh and clean as your new outlook on life. Your eyes scan the sand, and you realize that your original footprints have been washed away by the surf and along with them went your troubles. Somehow your connection with the entire planet, both the land and the sea, has brought you back to a place of clarity and serenity.
Nothing like a walk on the beach, or even through a park or just around the block, to clear your head and relax. Nice post.
Thank you Oscar- I completely agree. It is all about finding your own slice of serenity. Any place that brings you peace and a sense of calm is a gift and one that we should treat ourselves to more often than most of us do in our busy lives.
Such a beautiful way to describe how a walk along an ocean beach always makes me feel. Something about the tranquil rhythm of the waves, the endless sky line, etc. It just really does seem to wash your cares away. Thank you!
