I always wish that beaches should have a signage reading –
“footwear not allowed”, yeah, why not, I feel it is one of the most sacred
places on earth. The only place other than temples, where I forget myself.
Where do I begin with, every time I visit a beach, it is
like reading a new book, it has an untold story for me. I feel so new like as
if all my internal softwares have been updated. Like today is the first day for
the rest of my life. The sea can wash the weight of the world from my
shoulders.
The clarity of the blue sky and bluer ocean engulfs all
my confusions. The sound of the waves, the feel of the water at my feet, is one
of the best moments I have had in life. The complex ocean soothes me. I feel
close to Einstein’s word here-
Out of clutter, find simplicity.
From discord, find harmony,
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
I feel this, everytime I get lost and find myself in the
sands of the beach. I loose myself to the vastness of the ocean, I feel timid
and lost in front of it yet I find peace, I find myself. I never get tired of
the endless blue sky and the blue ocean, they teach me each time that I am a
significant small. The untiring waves tell me, you are searching so hard, you
have lost yourself, move on, some things never change. I make life decisions at
the beach.
I had once read- the cure for anything is salt water –
sweat, tears or the sea. Later life taught me; sometimes it is the combination
of the three. It is the best place to de-stress, unwind and to get lost. When I
am mad at something or in distress, the only thing that runs in my mind is – I want
the ocean right now and trust me, it works.
Be it watching the sunrise, or reading a book, for
catching up with a friend or just to awaken my soul, it is the sea. I wonder
how is that, in spite of the action of the waves and the roars of the sea, I find
calm here, I find no answers.
My life lesson – when feeling blue, go to where the blue sky meets the blue sea.
