When winter sets in, it’s time to head to the ocean.
Instead of the rain, which often forces you to stop going outside, a calm and peaceful chill sets in on clear winter days. When the sun shows a restrained strength in the morning and the light adapts to this modesty, when the sand on the beach is a little frozen and the seabirds are rarely seen, then every single sound has its place. It is an atmosphere of “being”, there is nothing to do.
Every step, every breath blends into the slow rhythm of nature. The ocean doesn’t demand anything, it just gives you the opportunity to be yourself. No thinking about thoughts, no clarifying, no planning, no doing. It’s like taking a step out of your life and not knowing it.
And that’s why now – in winter – it’s time to go to the oceanside.
Just a thought…
