Under the Spell of the Ocean

I love walking along the beach, listening to the ocean waves.

Walking in sand is slower than walking on pavement. The ocean waves have their own rhythm. They beckon me to slow down, to appreciate the wonders of nature, to ignore the chattering of my monkey mind.

The salty air is nourishing. I could get used to the humidity. Romance rides on the gentle breezes that tickle my skin.

While I may never live by an ocean year-round, I definitely want to spend much more time on beaches.

I want to relax to the sounds of the ocean. I want to feel the cool water on my feet. I want to remember the feelings evoked when the clattering of the daily grind gets too loud.

Visiting the ocean makes for great vacations!
